A History of Yogi Bhajan and 3HO with Philip Deslippe [Part 1]

Shabd interviews historian Philip Deslippe on the history of the community known as 3HO and its founder Yogi Bhajan. The discourse between Philip, who has dedicated years to studying this story, and Shabd who was born and raised in the community, provide a unique perspective on the oft-misunderstood community.

They talk about the context of early American yoga, and gurus, Yogi Bhajan’s arrival in LA, 3HO’s teachings, the emergence of a business, exploitation and control, relationship with Sikhi and more.
