Episode 66 Yoga Veteran Series with Stewart Gilchrist

“You have to have some degree of health, to be of service to other people” Stewart Gilchrist
.
I am overly excited about this XL episode with the one and only Stewart Gilchrist! He is such a legend and well known for his anarchism, activism, for being political and radical. Without a doubt was this man meant to be my teacher and he has changed my life on so many levels! Have a listen and see for yourself! Will keep this episode on here for two weeks, just in case!
.

Stewart Gilchrist born in 1961 in Scotland where he had quite a tough upbringing, drugs came into his life at an early age, which we speak about in this episode. Before becoming a yoga teacher Stewart worked as as a youth worker and teacher for 10 years in the voluntary sector, then trained as a lawyer. He is currently studying for an MA in Traditions of Yoga and Meditation at London’s School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS).

“If we overcome our laziness, we have kriya yoga: self-discipline, self-learning and self-realisation.”
.
He got into yoga after seriously injuring his back, embracing Ashtanga Mysore and the serious practice of yoga and its philosophy, which made him quite the drugs and commit to yoga completely. He has now been a teacher for nearly 30 years, he has his own teacher trainings too and build his own small studio: East London School of Yoga. He teaches what he calls Authentic Radical Yoga.

“I stay true to my ontological anarchist faith. I serve the practitioners who study with me. I try to speak my mind without hurting people. I remember my teachers.”
