Brown has been hosting Yoga Talks since 2015, so I thought I’d inquire! As J. admits, he likes stirring things up. His blog bills him as: “outspoken and sometimes controversial", and notes that his approach "has sparked broad discussions". This one is no less wide-ranging. Among other topics, we talk about:* The backlash to some of his episodes, and how he handles criticism* A shift away from polarisation to more harmonious forms of dialogue* What inspires his choice of guests, and his approach to yoga generally* Why he rejected his parents’ religion, and found solace in practices* How he reconciles resistance to authority with embrace of a deitySeparately, there's still time to join me for my online course on the Yoga Sūtra “beyond eight limbs” – you can do that here.Ancient Futures is free, but takes time to produce – donations are greatly appreciated! You can make one here as a subscriber, or buy me a coffee to fuel conversations.
