Not Just Āsana

THE FUTURE OF YOGA: our predictions

EPISODE 53
Inspired by the title of Sharon Gannon’s book “Eternity is Happening Now”, Sandy and Keith discuss their views on the future of yoga. This episode serves as somewhat of a time capsule, with lots of laughter, confusion over the commodification of “hybrid” yoga, and their hope that the pendulum will swing back towards yoga’s original intention of peace for all.
