In this episode of the Chai Sessions podcast, I'm talking to good friend and yoga philosophy maestro James Boag. I ask James about the relationship between two of the best known yoga texts, the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita.

I hope you enjoy listening in.

In this episode of the Chai Sessions I'm talking to clinical research and health professional Heather Gwyneth Bird.

We explore the concept of well-being and the intersection of self-improvement, self-acceptance and personal development from a yoga perspective. We talk about some of the significant challenges people are facing with their wellbeing just now and what role yoga might be able to play.

I hope you enjoy listening in.

In this episode of The Chai Sessions I'm talking with Osteopath Gareth McGee.

We discuss how people's view of the body is narrowing despite the volume of information out there and how that might be affecting how they think about their own bodies. We touch on pain and chronic pain cycles, and Gareth talks about the powerful concept of framing pain as protection.

I hope you enjoy listening in.

In this episode of The Chai Session Podcast we discuss the Bhagavad Gita ahead of Ema's upcoming course in May.

What is the Bhagavad Gita?
Why is it relevant today in the modern world?
How can we approach the text and work with it?

I hope you enjoy listening in.

I'm delighted James could join me on The Chai Sessions for a third time to chat about yoga and yoga philosophy. Ahead of his visit this spring, where he'll be guiding an exploration of the 8 limbs, I thought it would be helpful to ask James why they are so important to us as modern yoga practitioners.

I hope you enjoy listening in.

During each online chai session we’ve shared up till now, I’ve always imagined that we were sitting face to face on the sofa in the studio. I was so excited to finally have the opportunity to do just that with James Boag recently and can now share our first ever in-person chai session here with you!

Pop the kettle on, get yourself comfy and come and join us.

Over the years James has been a regular visitor to MCY. I was so desperate for people to hear what he had to share and for them to see the gift in texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras. He's helping us all see the wisdom in these teachings and how we can work with them, not only in our yoga practice on the mat but off the mat too as we go about our daily lives.

Pop the kettle on, get yourself comfy and come and join us.
