Among other topics, we explore the connections – and some of the disparities – between yogic knowledge, scientific findings and academic study. Building on his book One Simple Thing, Eddie has been working on a master's of science degree. We begin by discussing his research, which investigates meaning and purpose, and how they help people cope with anxiety. Eddie also shares some thoughts on his own transition away from daily practice of Ashtanga yoga, reappraising his role as a teacher with a heartfelt apology.If you enjoy the conversation, and would like to fuel more, please consider subscribing or buy me a coffee...
