Is This Yoga? – Anya Foxen + Christa Kuberry

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit ancientfutures.substack.comCan anything be yoga? Or does everything crumble to dust if it’s analysed hard enough?I recently discussed this – and much else besides – with Anya Foxen and Christa Kuberry, who co-wrote a book titled Is This Yoga? There are no simple answers, but asking the question can still be insightful – particularly since both authors are also practitioners. Along the way, we consider:* If yoga’s roots are too knotted to distinguish lotuses from waterlilies* How Western traditions dating back to ancient Greece echo yogic ideas* Whether classes called “harmonic gymnastics” would attract any students* What might help modern yoga preserve a connection to Indic tradition* How to build a dating app combining Western and Vedic astrologyTo dive a bit deeper into texts and traditions, join me for a course at truthofyoga.com.Ancient Futures is free, but takes time to produce – donations are greatly appreciated!
