In this episode, Susan Swan and Mark Whitwell talk about Susan’s experience as a Yoga teacher, including suffering a stroke and continuing to teach while rehabilitating.

Susan speaks about recovering language through breath, swearing, and the sound of OM, coming face to face with the reality that we live one breath at a time, and teaching yoga in the hospital to help other patients recover.

Together, long-time friends Mark Whitwell and Susan discuss the inevitable decline of the body, finding contentment despite it all, the pain of facing judgment and abandonment, and some possible positive outcomes from the impact of the pandemic on yoga teaching.

They also discuss what kept Susan going as a teacher during the most difficult times, and meetings with UG Krishnamurti.
