The Yoga Podcast of Your Dreams (If you like to lift!) with Zahir Akram

Prepare yourself for the most down to earth straight talking yogi you'll ever hear from.
.
Zahir Akram is the proprietor of Akram Yoga in Addlestone Surrey and author of Yoga, Madness or Meditation.
.
In this podcast he walks us through his personal yoga journey and his current thoughts on yoga, how  too much mobility might not be a good thing and how many people approach what yoga can do for them in totally the wrong way!
.
Zahir is open about his suffering from debilitating back pain, depression and having to undergo bedrest where he was unable to work and nearly losing his house.
.
This remarkably candid interview charts Zahir's story from his lowest point into his journey with strength training, discovering yoga and opening the inspirational Akram Yoga studios.
.
Zahir goes on to walk us through the basics of yoga, how to have a great first class, tips for unsticking yourself if you are an intermediate who is not progressing and how to balance yoga with other training.
.
He points out that the pilgrimage to India may never be necessary, as the values of yoga are there to be discovered within each of one of us.
.
This podcast is full of humour, humbleness and great advice from Zahir on the positive aspects of a sometimes confusing physical and spiritual practice.
