Robbie was our first ever guest back in Season 1. We had so much to chat about, we invited him back on.

We discuss some wonderful topics:

- Do you only appreciate your body's health when you're sick?

- How the yogic path can lead you to deep place of autonomy within yourself so you're less affected by your interior world and instead you can affect the exterior world form a place of calm.

- Are we all responsible for our own feelings, but where do we stand when someone uses this to manipulate us?

- How the knife in the had of a surgeon is going to save a life but the knife in the hand of a murderer will take a life. Tools are only useful when used with awareness.

- The irony of the fact that yoga has become hijacked by the ego and is being used to further cement the ego. This is the opposite of what ALL yogic teachings were about.

- How we can get fixated on achieving things when the more important question is "what are you doing right now, for yourself and your community?"

- Are you always rehearsing for your future?

- Is nuance the new N word?  

- What states the mind goes through when it's thinking?

Join us for a deep dive into the Education of Yoga.

We discuss:

- We don't care about your qualifications, do you understand the majesty of movement?

- What to look for if you want to become a Yoga Teacher.

- What's the difference between a Yoga instructor vs a Yoga Teacher?

- Who are the head honchos in the Yoga Governing bodies and are they any craic?!
