On today’s show Madhura Bhagwat brings a new perspective to many important topics in the yoga community. Having grown up in India, her thoughts and ideas are different than that of many Western teachers, and even different than many South Asian teachers who were born in Western countries. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to speak with people from varying backgrounds, with different ideas and ways of understanding the world and I hope this conversation with Madhura will make you stop and think, and carefully evaluate what you believe to be true.
