Ep 31 | Eddie Stern
During a weekend in New York just before Christmas, I had the amazing opportunity to catch up with renowned Ashtanga yoga teacher, Eddie Stern and practice at his shala, the Brooklyn Yoga Club. Lots to learn in this latest episode of our yoga podcast - which could certainly feel, at times, more like a science lesson than an interview. Listen as Eddie describes the vagus nerve, an information pathway for a lot of things that are really important for the yogis. Eddie explains that we are an entire biological mechanism of complementary systems, and so our practice isn’t based on striving and pushing - but in seeking a normal, every-day balance and harmony so we can live a healthier, happier life. And why the yoga, among other things - a true scientific method. The Ashtanga Dispatch Podcast is edited and produced by Chris Lucas and hosted by me, Peg Mulqueen. Opening chant is by Greg Nardi from Ashtanga Yoga Worldwide. Thanks to good friends who support this podcast over at Patreon who support this show through their monthly donations.
