What does it really mean to do nothing while still taking action?
In this episode, Brandt explores one of the most powerful philosophical concepts from the yoga tradition: action vs non-action as it is presented in the Bhagavad Gita, the Dao De Jing, the Yoga Sutras, and the Spanda Karika.
This teaching invites us to act from a place of presence and spaciousness, rather than striving or attachment.
Non-action is not about avoiding life. It is about being fully engaged, while staying free from ego-driven striving. By surrendering the results and aligning with a deeper sense of self, our actions become liberating rather than binding.
Learn how this foundational concept can support your meditation practice and guide you toward greater clarity, peace, and inner freedom.

In this episode, Brandt sits down with Fiona Janiloos, C-IAYT therapist and Breathing Deeply graduate to talk about yoga therapy and menopause.
Menopause will affect all women at some stage in their life and so this subject is very important! There isn’t a massive amount of research going into menopause in traditional medicine and so it is really exciting to see the field of yoga therapy and menopause expand and start to help more women.
In this interview, Brandt and Fiona discuss how the medical system and research lets women down, some unexpected side effects of menopause
