The Truth of Yoga – At the Heart of It
A conversation with Julie Smerdon
Philosophy and Practice
This discussion about my book (and related topics) with Julie Smerdon was fun – I hope you enjoy it! To quote the show notes:
"Earlier this year, I heard Daniel Simpson on J Brown’s YogaTalks Podcast, and immediately ordered his book The Truth of Yoga: A Comprehensive Guide to Yoga’s History, Texts, Philosophy, and Practices, and then completed his online course based on the book not long afterward. From his days as a foreign correspondent for the New York Times to his current scholarly work, Daniel has been a fierce advocate for exposing the truth, both in journalism and in yoga. Daniel has a no-nonsense, fact-based approach to the history of yoga philosophy that I really appreciate. In this episode, we chat about his background, his scholarly work, and the truth about what we know about the origins of the way we practice today."
