I think deep conscious relaxation is hugely underrated. I wonder if it might even be getting a bit lost in the modern yoga scene. That’s why I'm so excited to have the opportunity to geek out on the topic with Lucie.

Ranjana is an artist and lecturer living and working right here in Glasgow. We begin by chatting about her first experiences with yoga. How she was introduced to Advaitya Vedanta at a very young age by her parents. We get into what Advaitya Vedanta is too. How it is really about getting to know the Self that is in all of us, all life, all matter...

I'm delighted to welcome and introduce you to Dan Gronan in this, my 21st Chai Session!

Dan is offering a brand new weekly class here at MCY on Tuesdays 6-7.15pm. I thought it would be lovely to sit down for a chat and a cuppa to get to know him a little better…

Unbelievably, this is my 20th Chai Session! It’s super special for a few reasons…

One, Ema is back. This time we’re chatting about yoga philosophy, specifically yama-niyama.

Two, we’re chatting in person from the sofa in the studio.

And three, to celebrate episode 20, this is a special extended Chai Session.

Nadia Gilani is an author, yoga teacher and former news journalist. Her book, The Yoga Manifesto is what brought us together to chat. Plus she’ll be coming to visit us here at Merchant City Yoga next month! An afternoon of practise, tea and conversation…

Tony is a teacher of mediation, mantra and the energetic or subtle yogic body. This is what he shares with our yoga teacher trainees in his sessions during our 200 hour YTT course.

We begin our chat by considering if these traditional, more esoteric systems of yoga are getting a little left behind in this modern age of yoga.

This is a fascinating chat you won’t want to miss.
