Italo Calvino’s Il Barone Rampante / Baron in the Trees is one of my favourite ever books. It was one of the texts/aesthetic experiences/works of art that gave me an undeniable experience of what is known in Sanskṛt as rasa - the flavour that art can invoke and evoke. When I first read it, in my second year of studying Italian, I also read the English translation. Curiously, my favourite episodes were different in the original and in the translation. Of course, any translation, however ...
So do you have a yoga practice? This episode includes: What does sādhana mean? Is your practice helping keep your life orienting in the direction of your soul’s deeper and authentic longing? The potency of allowing some time for deep silence and meditation every day. The Medi-state as the foundation for yoga practice. Meditation and silence allowing us to connect to source, disconnect from the clutter and chaos of our conditioned perspectives, attenuate our attac...
What is special about a whole life yoga retreat at Casa Cuadrau in the Spanish Pyrenees? From 2012-2019 I enjoyed the great boon of sharing retreats every year at beautiful Casa Cuadrau. Between the travel restrictions and Brexit complications of recent years there has been a painfully prolonged hiatus in my visits to this wonderfully nourishing part of the world. This year, 20-27 June 2026 I am very grateful to be returning to Casa Cuadrau at one of my favourite times of the year...
Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai in una selva oscura perchè la dritta via mi era smarrità In the middle of the journey of our life, having lost my way - not seeing the clear way forward, in a dark forest, I came to myself... So begins Dante's Inferno, in a way that bears a striking resemblance to the beginning of the Bhagavad Gītā - in which the protagonist, Arjuna comes to realise the ways he has relied on up to that point are no longer adequate for the challenge he now finds ...
Centralised control and domination? That's an outdated story. Past its use by date. Thinking we are smarter than Life? No, that story of hubris never sustains. The new world is one of deeper harmony and cooperation, in which we remember our innate capacity to collaborate with all of life. NEW ONLINE COURSE on the Bhagavad Gītā starts next Monday 23rd February. One of the key teachings in the Gītā is how we can enact our dharma to support lokasaṅgraha - the wellbeing of the whole. How we can e...
The battlefield setting of the Bhagavad Gītā coming in the midst of a vast epic centred around a war of powerful men fighting amongst themselves sometimes puts people off. However, disregarding the Gītā's extraordinarily pragmatic teachings because we object to the setting is a tragic case of throwing baby out with bathwater. Besides, have you not sometimes fought against yourself? Experienced yourself behaving in ways that are inimical to your higher good? Really, the Gītā is set in th...
Gaṇeśa, famed as the ‘remover of obstacles’ is so much more! Along with Śiva, Śakti/Mā/Mother Divine, Viṣṇu/Nārāyaṇa, Skanda/Subrahmaṇya/Kārtikeya/Murugan and Sūrya/Sun, Gaṇeśa is one of the six foremost ways of representing that which is beyond representation, totality/the source/ultimate reality in the Indic tradition. Literally Gaṇeśa or Gaṇapati is the Lord/leader/the one who can bring together, reconcile and integrate all the gaṇa-s - all the members, all the parts, all the units. As suc...
The Rāmāyaṇa is one of the most treasured stories in the history of humanity. It was my privilege to soak in the teachings of this great epic of the yoga tradition during an autumn 2025 online course. This was also part of a yoga education program at ashtangayogavevey. During the 12 hour course, we explored the extraordinarily rich story of Rāmāyaṇa and gave speical attention to some key episodes, including Hanuman’s traversing the ocean to Lanka and in the example shared in this episod...
