In his Lonelyguru Yoga Dialogues podcast & music Ryan Spielman aims to unearth together with his interview guests what a real, transformative Yoga looks like and feels like in our culture. This podcast is an expression of Ryan’s passion for the exploration and realisation of Yoga.
My guest is Matthew Sweeney, a senior teacher in the Ashtanga Vinyasa Tradition. We discuss the Force as elucidated by master Yoda, gross, subtle and causal dimensions of practice, and when it is appropriate to fly in the face of tradition. You can find out more about Matthew at www.yogatemple.com

Ryan’s music is about poking fun at our foibles, musing about the meaning of life and bringing to light the ways in which we give ourselves a hard time. Though the songs are rough around the edges I think they capture how weird and wonderful it is being a human being.
