Alex Auder, director of Magu Yoga, is a long-time friend of J’s from the early NY days and they get together to talk about her newly-gained Instagram stardom and the recent conversation around consent and touch. They discuss what is behind Alex’s irreverence and trolling on social media, the NY times article, somatic dominance and implicit abuse, the precarious balance between holding people accountable and cancel culture, and the need for modern yoga to evolve beyond its history of abuse.

0:00.0	All right then, here we are. This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. Welcome to you if you're new.
0:20.4	Thanks to all the rest of y'all for showing up.
0:23.7	I have a fun and thought-provoking conversation to share with you today that I recorded with
0:30.4	Alex O'Dare. I'm going to tell you some about that shortly. But first, there is some more pressing news in just the last week.
0:43.2	First, Jivamukti, NYC, is closing down before the end of this month.
0:51.2	Let me say that again.
0:53.1	The mothership location of Jivamukti in Manhattan, New York, is closing down.

1:35.9	The bubble really has burst, I think, my friends, if anybody doubted that.

1:47.1	Jiva Mukti in East Coast in New York, and they were the ones who brought it all forth into
1:53.3	the Vinyasa, modern, pastoral world that many of us inhabit now.
1:59.2	And yoga works got sold off to venture capitalists, and Jivamukti's
2:03.9	were the holdouts. They were one of the last remaining early adopter, independent, slightly scaled
2:13.5	operators, and all that other Jivimukti that exists on the planet,
2:20.1	it all started in New York.
2:22.6	And the fact that there's no longer going to be a mothership there,
2:28.6	I don't know.
2:30.0	It's a end of an era, I suppose.
