01: Setting the Table: Knowledge, Truth and Not Hurting

Episode highlights:


  • How the fundamental yogic principles of non-harming (ahimsa) and truth (satya) are critical in written, spoken, and lived discourses;
  • The tendency among yoga many influencers – authors, teachers, and speakers – to say whatever they wish without regard for accuracy or truth;
  • What “knowing” (both jnana and vidya) mean in yoga and life;
  • The problem with “alternative facts” in yoga and its relationship to standards in teaching;
  • Basic standards in the creation and distribution of new knowledge and the problems with cherry picking and confirmation bias;
  • The importance of mutual accountability through peer review and community engagement;
  • Ensuring that yoga practices are well informed, beneficial, and a source of gradually deeper self-awareness, self-understanding, and healthy self-transformation.
