We share some personal reflections from our recent trip to India AKA Bhārata. India is a rich country by the means of knowledge, it has given us so much wisdom & is the birth place of yoga itself.

Each year we travel to Rishikesh to learn, practice & share.

In this episode we share some information about Rishikesh, some stories from our recent trip & speak to the culture of yoga which we appreciate so deeply!



India is great, if you feel called to join us next year on a training or on retreat find all the info you need on our website here: https://omsom.yoga/retreats-and-trainings

On this weeks episode: Lineages, Cults & Guru's

We talk about a topic that has been on our hearts of a while now.... Guru Culture!

There's no doubt that Guru's play a huge role in both modern & traditional role, so we wanted to take the time to discuss our personal experiences.

We take some time to unpack what Guru means, how Guru's can abuse their pose & more.

We also look into what it means to be a part of a lineage & how that can affect the way we approach yoga practice.

Huge conversation with lots of information & stories, we hope you enjoy!
