Epsiode 84: Keeping it real in the industrial yoga complex with Stewart Gilchrist and Mick Barnes

“Sometimes I wish it was back in it’s little corner where no one gave a toss about it” SG

Episode 84: Keeping it real in an industrial yoga complex world with Stewart Gilchrist and Mick Barnes

This episode is without a doubt the closest to my heart, as my two main teachers who I love dearly came together in one (zoom) room! CHECK THIS OUT! It’s a legendary one!

Stewart Gilchrist and Mick Barnes both Senior Yoga Teachers (teaching for over 15 and 20 years) and true legends. We speak about how CAPITALISM IS DESTROYING YOGA! How they both navigate in a world of teacher training, Lulu Lemon world and retreats. Swimming against the tide. Or as Stew says swimming against a huge tsunami. They explain WHAT YOGA IS AND WHAT YOGA ISN’T! . It’s an incredible unique, authentic and pure hearted episode sharing the ultimate truth and core of what yoga is or at least should be….. and even if you aren’t into yoga, these two will entertain you and open up your eyes and inspire you in many ways!

TO BE CONTINUED! PART 2 COMING SOON! .

INSIGHTS/HIGHLIGHTS:

REAL YOGA:

STEW: The only real yoga are the ones that are mentioned in the Shastras, Puranas, Upanishads and ancient sacred texts. Those are yogas. The other ones aren’t, they are businesses, just in it to make a profit. They are made up, without any scriptural history.

YOGS ENDS SUFFERING:

STEW: I think about quitting everyday. But then I think about how many people are suffering in this world and I suffered badly before I found yoga. I...
