S3 Ep 25 - Jivana Heyman (he/him) - turning anger into service

This week's guest is the humble Jivana Heyman (he/him), founder and director of Accessible Yoga School (non profit) and author of Yoga Revolution and Accessible Yoga. He joins us from sunny Santa Barbra and as we chat you can hear the murmurings of his garden and wildlife in the background.

We discuss:

- The dance between keeping yoga accessible and respecting the lineage

- How often the best we can do is be quiet and allow all to be revealed

- Abuse in the yoga world and connection to lineage

- Activism and turning anger into service

- We ask Yoga teachers to reflect on the power dynamics within their communities and classes

- Hard conversations - where is the future of yoga?

- How the 3 Gunas - rajas (activity), tamas (stability), sattva (consciousness) in yogic anatomy had a potential influence on and relation to the discovery of the theory of protons, neutrons and electrons in chemistry.

- The 4 paths of yoga and how these can often reflect or represent the ways we are in the world, or the ways we find yoga.

• Karma Yoga – the yoga of action and selfless service.
• Bhakti Yoga – the yoga of devotion.
• Rāja Yoga – the yoga of meditation.
• Jñāna Yoga – the yoga of will and intellect.
