Harmony and Russell sit down with Paul Bramadat — professor, anthropologist, and longtime yoga practitioner — to explore the spiritual, cultural, and deeply human dimensions of modern yoga. Paul, who began his yoga journey in Harmony’s studio in Victoria, BC, now returns not as a student, but as the author of Yoga Lands, a fascinating book that blends memoir, ethnography, and cultural critique.
Together, they dive into the real reasons people are drawn to yoga: not just for fitness or flexibility, but as a response to suffering. From the spiritual to the sociopolitical, this episode weaves personal stories and academic insights into a rich discussion of cultural appropriation, inclusivity, identity, and the subtle energies that shape how we relate to each other in the yoga room.
This episode is essential listening for yoga practitioners, teachers, and anyone who’s ever felt the transformative pull of the practice — even when the reasons are messy, complicated, and rooted in pain.
