Summary
Today, Ash teams up with friend of TSFU, Trevin from the podcast Live, Laugh, Larceny. Ash dives into the dark side of Kundalini Yoga - from the shady beginnings with Yogi Bhajan to the drama following the death of its second leader, Guru Jagat (aka Katie Griggs from Colorado).
Once again, "it's not just yoga you guys!"
