Neil Boyd, Board Vice-President of the Feathered Pipe Foundation, talks with J about his life as a farmer, his yoga, and how the two have informed each other. They discuss the connection between his work and the turn of the seasons, how he ended up getting into yoga, the teachers that helped him, farm practices and what they can tell us about yoga practices, Krishnamurti, the magic of the Feathered Pipe Ranch, and the simple wisdom of embodying kindness in your attitude and actions.

0:00.8 | Here's the thing. |
0:03.2 | Most people want a yoga teacher to tell them what to do. |

1:10.1 | but it does boil down to what is the fundamental basis of a yogic understanding. |
1:13.3 | And we were talking about this in my weekly teachers class |
1:16.6 | because sometimes you need people to try to talk to about this, |
1:21.2 | especially when it's stuff that's really hard to find words for |

1:53.3 | Okay. |
