In this warm and inspiring episode, Kino MacGregor welcomes her dear friend and legendary Ashtanga Yoga teacher David Swenson for a conversation about his new book, Only Dead Fish Go With the Flow.

David shares what sparked the idea for the book — a collection of stories, reflections, and wisdom from decades of living yoga on and off the mat. He offers an inside look at the writing journey: the surprises, the challenges of editing, and why he chose the self-publishing route to keep his voice true and unfiltered.

David shares a few anecdotes straight out of the book!

Kino and David also laugh and reflect on life’s simple pleasures — teaching students around the world, staying connected to loved ones, and tending to the fruit trees that thrive under David’s careful eye on his Hawaiian land.

This episode is a reminder that yoga is more than poses — it’s a way of living with courage, humor, and a willingness to swim against the current when your heart says so.
