Daniel Simpson, author of The Evolution of Modern Yoga and host of the Ancient Futures Podcast, returns to talk with J about the defining characteristics of "modern" yoga and what makes it relevant. They discuss shifts in postural practice over time, premodern texts, Krishnamacharya, Kuvalayananda and Yogendra, east to west crossover, healing benefits, vedic sources, Georg Feuerstein, unfounded claims, oral tradition, kosha model, authenticity and inquiry, and disentangling core principles from outlandish trends.
