| The Art of Stillness in a Noisy World | Magnus Fridh | 15 Oct 2024 | 01:02:03 | |
āBuddhists always consider new people as friends. Not the other way around, we should see each other as friends. It makes the world a better place.ā In this episode, Iām talking to Magnus Fridh, a teacher of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation. Magnus is also one of the founders of The Mindfulness App. His latest book, āThe Art of Stillness in a Noisy Worldā (Hardie Grant), is about how to find tranquillity and peace in everyday life. Magnus started meditating in his teens and immersed himself in the subject through Tibetan Buddhism and university studies in Indology. Magnus and I discuss the power of meditation to anchor us in life's ups and downs, the many doorways into stillness, and both the science of meditation and the philosophy of compassion that can help get us out of rumination and into the ananda maya kosha. We also discuss trusting the hyper-focus of ADHD and how yoga off the mat in the coming years is more important than ever.

| Inner Expansiveness As A Tool To Move Through The World | Satsang with Anandi Brownstein | 01 May 2024 | 01:07:51 | |
"It's the daily practice of meditation without expectation. It's not a wish-fulfilling cow that if you meditate you'll have a great day. It's the practice of placing the identification on that meditation state as who you are." A loaded, joyful episode filled with satsang and conversation with my dear friend and fellow yogi Anandi Brownstein - a cinematographer and documentary director who shares her lived wisdom with us from a lifetime of meditating and growing up in the Himalayas of India. We surf on some profound concepts and share each of our unique perspectives. Nandi shares her thoughts on life and practice that we can all begin to think about for ourselves; ācultivating inner expansiveness as a brilliant tool to move effortlessly in the world; āthe yogic work of purification and expansion; ā maintaining peace as an individual; āwhy confusion happens and how to get out of it and; ānot identifying with any limiting idea that confines you. She also reads a verse from Sri Nisaragadatta Maharajās book of discourse called āI am Thatā and we discuss Josh Scheriās podcast āThe Emeraldā.

| What does it mean to surrender the ego to Guru or God? | SEASON 2 FINALE with Vijay Shyam | 01 Feb 2024 | 01:33:27 | |
Today Iām joined live in Sainj Valley, Himachal Pradesh, with a wonderful teacher, satsangee and great human being who Iām honoured to call my friend - Vijay Shyam. Check out season 1 episode 5 for the first conversation we had on the podcast, where Vijay shares his stories and insights and his meeting with Baba Vivekanand almost 40 years ago. As Vijay and I adventured for a few days in the Himalayas, we had a special meeting with this very same Baba before we recorded this episode. As we discuss what weāre experiencing and understanding in our own sadhana, highlighted by the teachings of our shared Guru, Babaji, and other enlightened beings, Iāve clipped in some of our talk with Babaji from his little room at the temple. Here are some of the major points we circle on: ā08:55 Place everything at the feet of Guru ā16:52 The world will keep pushing your buttons ā18:01 How to be like the trees meditating ā22:09 Grief of death and knowing unborn ā34:30 We are the eternal Being, not beings ā42:35 Babaji and Zero-ness - just empty your thoughts ā49:29 Burning karm and donāt interfere with nature ā55:42 Guidance is important - hold somebodyās hand to walk this road ā61: 50 Surrender everything, even Sattwa or goodness ā1:08:10 Making any being less than God is a kind of violence Connect with Vijay Shyam at www.nondual.dk www.linktr.ee/vijayshyam108 This delightful and deep conversation focuses on egolessness, surrender, death and living a truly illuminated life of oneness by knowing all as God, or Guru. This truly celebrates the highest knowledge, great company and another successful season of A Curious Yogi Podcast. So sit back, relax, and come to the Himalayas with Vijay and me. I look forward to seeing you next season.

| How does a yogi live spiritually & serve selflessly in a modern world? | Krishna Chaitanya | 25 Jan 2024 | 01:15:27 | |
āNothing can teach us more about yoga than being in the presence of a yogi.ā Todayās guest is the founder and director of AyurYoga Eco-Ashram Krishna Chaitanya. Having lived and studied in ashrams, seeking the wisdom of Guru's for 12 years, he has been trying to understand what it means to be spiritual from a realistic standpoint and made it his mission to unlearn everything he learned over the years. In this enlightening conversation, Krish shares his vision of living and studying yoga and spirituality. Here are some of the highlights: ā08:45 The highest gift is spiritual knowledge ā14:04 A space for yoga not in the extremes but rather focuses on freedom ā19:00 How to experience life without feeling the world is a problem ā24:51 How life traps us ā35:40 Offending students with talk of spiritual hypocrisy ā51:07 Personalizing our practice to our needs, not wants ā1:01:15 What is selfless service really? Find Krish HERE: www.ayuryoga-ashram.com I really enjoyed celebrating my own yoga and teaching journey, which was expanded during my time at Ayuryoga Ashram back in 2020.

| What does the Avadhoot Gita reveal about the state of Bliss? | Seegla Vistar Brecher | 18 Jan 2024 | 01:11:33 | |
āLife as the unfoldment of bliss through the journey of self enquiry - this was the only thing that made sense to me.ā Todayās brilliant conversation is a peek into the lesser-known and profound Avadhoot Gita with a very special yogi, author, musician and teacher, Seegla Vistar Brecher. The Avadhoot Gita of Dattatraya: Song of the Unborn is a deep, meditative exploration of a 9th-century Advaita Vedanta text. Vistar offers her unique vision and interpretation of the Avadhoot and reveals the essence behind our collective, universal journey. We touch on so much! But here are a few key moments: ā13:50 Vistars Sadhana, how do you live the freedom you know exists? ā18:38 Advadhoot describes all pairs of opposites of the human condition and transcends them ā26:41 Reading Chapter 6 verse 3: The mind as blissful ā36:24 The essence of the practice is when you know there is no separation between you and the world ā46:26 The choice of the yogi is to walk through the portal ā56:13 Reading Chapter 7 verse 9: The yogi is both free from yog and lack of yoga ā1:02:31 Reading Chapter 7 verse 4: Where does the unease come from? You can connect with Vistar at rahasyageet.com and find her music HERE And I highly recommend grabbing your own copy of The Avadhoot Gita of Dattatraya: Song of the Unborn HERE Vistar finishes the talk today by letting us know what is the greatest practice of a yogi - to watch. Ah, so refreshing, illuminating, inspiring and spacey - this is one of my favourite episodes yet.

| Yoga Weaponization or Liberatory Potential For All? | Sheena Sood PhD | 25 Sep 2024 | 01:06:53 | |
āWhat are the ethical implications of yoga being used by these racially oppressive, colonial forces and being used to help people who are agents of that oppression feel better and decompress and destress?ā I am honoured to introduce you to this week's guest, Sheena Sood, PhD, an Assistant Professor of Sociology, activist, yoga practitioner, and healing justice visionary. Sheena is on the editorial board of Race & Yoga Journal; is a co-founder of Yogis for Palestine - and the founder of Yoga Warrior Tales. Her research is focused on what she calls Omwashing; the weaponization of yoga by far-right imperialist forces and military and policing institutions. Sheena gives incredible insight and uncomfortable facts to direct our attention, contemplation and action toward the ādeeply unfree worldā in which we all participate. We dig into the important topic and difficult reality of the oppressive systems in power along with the responsibility yoga practitioners have to examine and question them if we sincerely wish to shift the collective towards liberation and embodied freedom for all.

| How Can You Embrace & Navigate The Profound Spiritual System of Yoga? | Prasad Rangnekar | 06 Jan 2024 | 01:00:55 | |
āPatience, finding your teacher, and a community, a community that is led by a higher goal, led by purpose, by empathy, togetherness - will help you.ā In this episode, I talk to the ever-fresh and brilliant Prasad Rangnekar. Humble and humorous with a way of connecting the listener to the underlying essence of yoga is, with total clarity, Prasad has been teaching and living those teachings of yoga as a scientific system of spirituality for nearly 30 years. Today, he gives us a broader context to consider when arriving at the practices and study of yoga, as well as the utmost importance of studentship. I ask him how we can practice yoga today while respecting the roots, the origins, and the culture from which it arises. He amazingly expounds all my questions with analogies and inquiries from which we can all learn. Hereās just a tiny sample of the key knowledge points: ā08:20 Yoga as the spiritual, cultural capital of India ā15:19 There needs to be respect for this grand narrative of yoga ā20:41 Yoga is an ecosystem ā33:09 Yoga as a longer path of Self-transformation ā39:48 The confusion of a āyoga teacherā after a 200-hour training ā47:42 Recognize the volume of ground we have to cover ā51:12 Finding your teacher is extremely important, not just a teacher ā53:15 Sangha is a spiritual community of fellow seekers with a deeper resonance Sign up for Prasadās newsletter HERE. Or follow his popular IG account HERE @yogaprasad_institute I left this conversation with my heart open for the yoga we so thoroughly discussed.

| What is the ultimate resolution you can never fail at? | 31 Dec 2023 | 00:25:30 | |
Swamiji's words ring true today; "Saadhaana, or practice, is only relevant when you as your source are united to the Whole, and that is called Yog." Today I share thoughts on the nature of the mind, resolutions or Sankalp, and how social media can keep us in conflict. I invite you to contemplate the following in your sadhana; ā How does your mind work? Why do you think, feel, act, and relate the way you do? ā What might your life look like if your resolution was to simply know, accept and love yourself? ā What can you turn your attention towards that illuminates the perfection and wholeness of who you are beyond your personality? Let me know your resolutions and your reflections on where you're free and where you still have work to do. Thank you for being here, and sharing this path of sadhana together.

| How do we move toward honouring the beauty, integrity & validity of every person on the planet? | Ned Rosch | 15 Nov 2023 | 01:10:15 | |
āIf we can begin to see that there is a power and deep soul connection to that concept which really rings true in all of our hearts at some level, if we clear away or dust away that baggage that gets in way of that reality that we want freedom. All of us. Spiritual and political. And the only way to get there is justice and equality for all peoples.ā This weeks episode is an important one as I share in deep conversation with Ned Rosch a certified yoga teacher and social justice activist based out of Portland, Oregon. Ned is a graduate of The Center for Mind-Body Medicineās āHealing the Wounds of Warā program, has taught yoga in Gaza in 2014 and 2020 and authored a chapter in the book āStories of Personal Transformation: Reclaiming Judaism from Zionismā Today we touch on Nedās spiritual journey, the facts of the current situation of Israel and historical palestine, and he really helps me understand the importance of learning the historical context as a precursor to any action or inaction in a deeply political time.

āBeing truly conscious requires stepping back from compulsions and attachments - a change in the operating system. And sometimes we need a helping hand for that. We canāt do it alone, nor should we have to.ā For me, the healing, the coming home, starts with shame. And is currently seeped in gratitude. In this solo episode, I share my personal story woven together with words from wise teachers and thinkers. Borrowed from the sages, saints and sponsors who have inspired my own inquiry into addiction, mental health and healing, I share my take aways from 6 years of sobriety. The intention in this honest, and unpolished episode is to share my hope, courage and strength for any other yogis or seekers out there struggling with addictions, compulsions and their own "stinking thinking". Letās all remember Swamijiās words; āGod lives in the effort.ā In this episode, I mention a few resources āYoga and the 12 Steps: www.y12sr.com āAnd check out this lit Season 1, Episode 25 with Nikki in season 1 HERE āGabor Mateās book, āIn the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addictionā HERE And, connect below if youād like to connect or reflect privately on this episode.
