Whatever form our yoga may take, our practice is a part of a rich lineage. In this show we explore what it looks like when we invite the spirit of tradition into modern practice.

Season 1

Richard Rosen shares with us his interest in the traditional 32 asanas as detailed in the Gheranda Samhita. He invites us into an investigation of our Hatha Yoga family roots. Simultaneously, because the spirit of yoga is innovative and curious, he allows modern understandings to inform our approach.

Richard and Kira's conversation invites us into Richard's research on yoga's rich history and evolution.
