Yoga Bro

I originally interviewed Suzanne Newcombe for a documentary, which may or may not go ahead. All of her research is absolute gold which is too good not to be shared, so for the time being it has become this podcast.Suzanne shares a rich and detailed overview of some of the ways yoga became so popular with women in Britain, including many influential female figures who I had never heard of before.There is even more information in her book 'Yoga in Britain' which is a truly fascinating read!

Eeeeek, my first podcast!I was going to re-record this as the intended messages are not necessarily clear. But due to the subject matter I think it best to keep it completely real. Hopefully you can hear that and if you unclear on the messages here they are:There is a huge focus on the actions of the 'gurus' in the East. If you are unaware of these, please do listen to what survivors like Karen Rain and Jubilee Cooke.Whilst we are focussed on what happened in the East we are missing what is happening right under our noses. We are no better, the power dynamics are at play in the West too, and should we not be addressing ourselves first and foremost? In general the issue is with men and toxic masculinity (masculinity that is harmful to the self and society), so it is the duty of men to try to rid themselves of this. See what you think.A transcript of the podcast is available here:https://www.temi.com/editor/t/p-1Bi4upYAupzL9EqdEr8YS3RBC9TTs2x_Ul7ICj_AxZMjXYMt_F-OzJAXCYJe6xiTJ4n0nYPjA3hbD8tWuRYysNUqU?loadFrom=SharedLinkMusic used under creative commons  http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/.Intro: Meyden- Please wake upMain: Meyden- Contemplate the stars
