Episode 4: What is Yoga? Interview with Dr Ankur Barua, Part 2.

from Embodying Philosophy (as a way of life) · host Floss

This episode is Part 2 of an interview with Dr Ankur Barua, Senior Lecturer in Hindu and Buddhist Studies at the University of Cambridge, on the topic 'What is yoga?' In this episode, we explore how we can understand yoga not just as a tradition-specific path or philosophy, but as a practical discipline which helps us address fragmentation as a central component of our human condition. Through a restructuring of human mentality and subjectivity, underpinned by the mind-body connection, yoga can transform how we are in the world - and how we act - ethically, morally, and virtuously.
