Ep 15: Jeff & Harmony

To set the stage for you, our conversation takes place at the Green Hotel in Mysore, India. It's probably the quietest place we could find to record and they serve the most amazing cakes - just ask Jeff and my daughter, Meghan who were enjoying theirs during the broadcast! You don't see Jeff and Harmony out in the usual hangout near the Shala. And that's because when they are not practicing in the morning, they are busy being parents to Jediah, their 5 year-old son. That means, while many are hanging out at coconut stands, getting chai and massages, or taking some exotic lessons - they are home, taking care of their son (who had a fever the whole week leading up to this interview), making play dates with the other families here in Mysore, and just trying to keep their family life as normal as possible - considering where we all are. Actually, hanging with them and also Taylor Hunt and his wife Jess and family, it makes this whole Mysore thing seem very reasonable for young families. Sharath makes it very easy as well, giving parents different times to practice and moms, actually, no set time at all - just any time they can come. The conferences are littered with tiny people and sprinkled with the sweet babbles of babies. Makes this mum's heart sing. No doubt, this trip has been as much about seventh series more than any other. And as you listen to the following conversation with Jeff and Harmnoy Lichty, you'll understand why.
