Introducing a conceptual and historical deep-dive into Yoga, presented by way of brief segments of roughly five to twenty minutes – Yoga Discovery attempts to unlock the hidden phrases and secrets of this now vastly popular global phenomenon.
From its origins overseas, to now finding at least one Yoga class in every town and village across the Western world, Yoga has taken the fitness and well-being industries by storm in recent decades.
People of all ages and backgrounds have begun to benefit from its teachings and physical implications, but even so, most Yoga students and attendees likely still find themselves unsure of the phrases, terms and concepts presented in their yoga class. For Yoga Discovery, host Brenda C. Eppley, of Green-Tree-Yoga, proceeds to fill in those gaps.
Created in 2021, Yoga Discovery notes dozens of episodes professionally captured and with a straight-to-the point format for listeners to dive into at any moment in their day – even perhaps, quite perfectly, during their short drive to the yoga studio.
Brenda C. Eppley is yoga teacher and scholar with a clearly well-researched, informed, and welcoming approach to podcast hosting. Most recently, her introduction to Swami Vivekananda marks a strong introduction to the podcast, and highlights her unrivalled connection to the history of yoga, and her clear understanding of its intentions and origins, which proves fascinating and insightful to listen through.
Other highlight episodes include Yoga: Religious, Spiritual, or Secular?, a take that introduces Yoga from the perspective of an experienced teacher who knows precisely the questions that new-starters often bring along to a Yoga class, and whom is equipped to answer those questions in a fluid and memorable way.
“Is it possible to practice Yoga as a secular activity, without any religious implications or components?”
Brenda has spent time with and has even interviewed a multitude of Yoga experts and practitioners from around the world, and her undeniable knowledge and connection to the artform emerge in a brilliantly compelling yet also calming and humble fashion. Her keenness to keep learning is inspiring, and the light shone on a plethora of Yoga-related topics for this podcast is incredibly valuable.
