Thanks for inviting David, what a great podcast. Inspiring to see you both as teachers who are honest, human, humble. Lots of gem lines to reflect upon 🙏
This podcast was so inspiring, Adam ! I loved what David mentioned about hatha yoga pradipika and ashtanga being a comprehensive practice. It is exactly what has kept me glued to the "template / blueprint" despite being restricted in my outwardly physical capabilities. And the fact that it could be applied to other styles of teaching yoga has been absolutely mind blowing for me to discover in my own teaching journey. A silver lining amidst everything !✨
absolutely it can be, The question is alwsys how the aspirnt apperoaches a method. How 'complete' something may be depending on the depth of context we are able to build around it - as well, of course, on its' ability to mirror reality, 'hold water' so to speak.. Glad you liked this; I certainly enjoyed the conversation a great deal.
"I don't need new sequences I'm ok with this one" is kind of like doctors saying I don't want to innovate medicine I'm okay with the ones we have. I just have a different opinion I guess... I feel that as we learn more about the body the more we should be invited to make new discoveries in yoga asana practices. In the dance world they don't do the same ballet barre that they used to because they discovered better techniques. It is just something to ponder is all I am saying.
absolutely- and all good thoughts. In reply I would say that it’s not the development of better techniques of stretching but instead 2 things; 1.the use of ritual 2. the stimulation of the nerves of the spine (with recourse to the diaphragm). To which end, the posture is almost superlative rendering innovation simply a distraction- though comfort and individualism of any posture one chooses to perform non-negotiable.. A few of my own thoughts. thanks for raising the question.
Wow, more David please. I could listen to you two all day long. Just fab.

I think Iyengar yoga offers a depth as well. And also, more supportive for aging bodies.
