#93 Richard Freeman & Mary Taylor - The Bhagavad Gita

This is the second time Adam has hosted Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor on the Keen on Yoga Podcast. In this episode they focus the discussion on the Bhagavad Gita.

Richard & Mary have been studying and practicing yoga since the early 1970s and were some of the very first students to discover the Ashtanga yoga method.

Together they co-founded the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, Colorado, have produced several highly regarded yoga audio and video recordings, as well as authoring several books, both together and individually.

Their latest title, When Love Comes to Light, is a guide to the Bhagavad Gita and interweaves insight into how these classic teachings are relevant for modern readers struggling with what it means to live responsibly in challenging times.

In this talk with Adam they cover such topics from the book as

Sounds of the battleground
We're all in this together
There is more to things than the conflict we feel
Identification with the body
Action gives information
Ashtanga yoga giving the embodied experience of karma
Tending to the mind
Identification with the mind
The question of Renunciation
Using our practice for the good of the world
Your responsibility
Right attitude and duty
What is our dharma
Action without attachment to fruits
Devotion
Practice as sacrifice
Expectations
Children and practice
Motivation
