Summary

Godfrey Devereux, author of The Little Book of the Bandhas, returns to talk with J about releasing somatic intelligence from learned habits and the story that bandhas tell us. They discuss varied ideas about bandhas, connection between Mulabandha and exhalation, pulsating opposition of spinal curves, spontaneous muscle events leading to potent and energetic spiritual experience, Iyengar and bandha in the extremities, oojai breathing, and the irresistible invitation to surrender into the totality of life and deepest heart of being human.

My name is Jay Brown.

Welcome to you, whoever you are, whether you're a new listener or a returning

0:23.6

friend. Thank you for giving a listen today. And I don't know what the weather is like where you are now,

0:34.2

but boy, has it been hot around here in my hometown of Pennsylvania? I am returned,

0:40.7

if you were here last week. I was in Massachusetts at the Berkshire Yoga Festival. I recorded an

0:48.6

episode there that will post maybe next week or the week after, I'm not not sure and I will talk more about the festival then

0:56.9

it was quite enjoyable and it was really an experience on a lot of different levels and

1:03.2

a few different things that could be said about it but we're going to save that for when I

1:08.3

shared the episode that I recorded there with you. Right now, I'm back home.

1:14.3

I'm in the backyard. It is cooled down a little bit as evening time. In many ways, I am up against

1:20.8

it because I had all sorts of duties this afternoon in respect to the neighborhood-wide yard sale that I conduct as vice

1:30.9

president of my neighborhood association. So we had our neighborhood-wide yard sale this

And now I'm out here in the backyard. It's already latter evening. And the sky's looking a little

1:55.9

bit ominous. I got to say, we are under a thunderstorm watch. so it feels like the thunderstorms could roll in any

2:04.7

moment. We're seeing if we can get it in before the storm comes in more ways than one, I suppose.

2:14.6

In any case, we're making it happen, however way we can. And I have such a fantastic
