Yoga Podcast 39: Mark Robberds

Ashtanga Dispatch Podcast - Een podcast door Ashtanga Dispatch

Can exploration in movement and other approaches to practice coexist within the Ashtanga yoga tradition? Teacher Mark Robberds, certainly hopes so. And in today's episode, Mark shares some really valuable information about movement - like how variety is critical for our physical development, and in Ashtanga in particular - a way to balance out some of the more extreme movements sometimes involved.  But Mark also shared his feelings on a few more serious topics within the yoga community. Like the sexual abuse that took place in the practice room with Pattabhi Jois - and the whole debacle when Mark was temporarily stripped of his teaching certification after it was reported he was exploring different approaches to the practice. (As I type this, I am SMH for real). I hope you enjoy this last podcast of 2018 with Mark Robberds. As always, thank you for listening - and for all your support!
