13 NOV. 2025 · This week we are talking about all things "chakra." Where did they come from and how have they changed over time. We dig into the details of the "modern" or "western" chakra system before going back in time. The chakras find their origins in another practice of purifying the elements of the body. Over the centuries, many different chakra systems appear, until the modern age when the 7 chakra system gains prominence. This modern system has a few distinct traits, especially that there are 7 of them, they are associated with the nervous system or glands, they are rainbow colored and associated with psychological states.

13 NOV. 2025 · How do you say the word "chakra"? Is it shakra, kakra or chakra? It is easy to mispronounce this word because of the way it transliterates into the Roman (English) alphabet. But ultimately it is not a hard thing to understand or say.

6 NOV. 2025 · We continue the conversation about the nature of the Yogic Body, discussing a couple more big picture concepts. Sometimes the Yogic Body is a microcosm of the universe, with winds, planets and moons. We also consider whether the body evolves from the mind or vice versa, which is vital for most practices of yoga. Finally, we discuss the Yogic Body as represented by the life-force centers of the body, like the navel and heart.

30 OCT. 2025 · We kick off our season-long discussion of The Yogic Body, tackling some big questions before digging into details. What is the difference between the "Yogic Body" and the "Subtle Body"? (5:42) We briefly introduce all the elements of the Yogic Body — chakras, kundalini, prana, vayus, nadis, bandhas, koshas (8:53) — before delving into whether the yogic body is real. (23:00) Of course, that question is more complex than it seems. Join us as we dig in!

23 NOV. 2023 · Continuing the conversation about alignment from the last episode, the discussion veers into 'prana' and 'virtue.' How does the body affect the flow of prana? For that matter, what is prana? And how does our physical alignment affect or symbolize our moral nature? Scott and Ida discuss these questions, along with abundant references and tangents.

16 NOV. 2023 · Scott and Ida discuss the nature of "alignment" throughout the last hundred years. Did older texts talk about alignment? When did it become important, and how did that change the way we practice yoga? Is alignment a good idea? They cover early pioneers such as Krishnamacharya, Shivananda and Yogendra, as well as Iyengar and Jois, all the way into the modernity of Birch.
This episode is the first of two about alignment, covering the first three "buckets" of what it means.

They are briefly explained as part of the eight-limbed system, and often included in arguments about disease and health. Are they a suitable form of meditation? Is modern asana practice squeezed into the Yoga Sutras via a loophole?
