Summary

Eddie Ellner, founder of Yoga Soup, talks with J about the trajectory of yoga into western culture, paradoxes in the human condition, and creating spaces for people to gather. They discuss the early 90's yoga scene via Yogaworks and Jivamukti, the influence of Brian Kest and Steve Ross, acceptance or manipulation of your body, charismatic teachers and the dangers of celebrity, discerning truth, creating Yoga Soup, sobering business realities, and penetrating the fear of what might happen to find joy in making a place for friends to come together.

0:00.0	All right, here we are. This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown.

1:37.5	story to tell around what is happening with me right now, but it's not come to a conclusion yet,
1:45.6	and it's maybe a little bit too long a story to tell in this moment.

2:08.4	to what's happening with me.
