#93 – Keen on Yoga Podcast with Richard Freeman & Mary Taylor

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
