For over 50 years Paul has been exploring and sharing his experiences on awakening, human potential and how to be deeply happy. In this episode he points out the most important factor for discovering these qualities, unconditional awareness. Pay attention, be present, see the mechanical nature of the body and mind, stop holding … and don’t take it too seriously.
Paul has many offerings on his website with a large collection of audio and video he makes freely available. Check it out at www.paullowe.org
I sit down with Mysore-style Ashtanga teachers, Scott Johnson, Joey Miles and Corrie Preece for a lively discussion on all things Ashtanga from how to teach the unteachable, when is it okay to modify the sequence, the misconception that yoga always feels good, waking up early, hyper-focus on alignment and much more. If you are an ashtangi or interested in learning about Mysore-style classes you can really sink your teeth into this one.
My guest is pregnancy Yoga teacher, Ayala Gill. We talk about how to approach your yoga practice during pregnancy, helpful tips, postnatal yoga, modifying for each trimester and more. Ayala has trained in Iyengar, Ashtanga and Anusara methods, as a mindfuleness meditation teacher and is a practicing doula, assiting women during childbirth. www.ayalagill.com

Melanie has been teaching yoga since 1997, and training yoga teachers since 2005. She divides her time between London and Goa practicing and teaching yoga. She currently runs the morning Ashtanga self-practice at The Life Centre in Islington, London and conducts annual teacher trainings in London and at Brahmani Yoga in Goa. melaniecooper.co.uk
Alan Jacobs was born in 1929 in London. From an early age, he has been interested in religion and mysticism. He commenced a personal search for truth, and studied comparative religion. He then entered the Gurdjieff Society in 1957 and remained there until the early seventies. He then met Jiddu Krishnamurti, and studied his teachings until 1979.
Next, he discovered Ramana Maharshi and became familiar with his extensive literature and spiritual practice. He is currently President of the Ramana Maharshi Foundation, UK.
As a poet he has versified for O Books ‘The Bhagavad Gita’, ‘The Principal Upanishads’ and ‘The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius’, as well as compiling a major prose anthology, ‘The Ocean Of Wisdom’. For Watkins Publishing, he edited ‘Ramana, Shankara and the Forty Verses’, versified ‘The Essential Gnostic Gospels’ and compiled an anthology, ‘The Wisdom of Ramesh Balsekar’.
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.
