Summary
Josh Kane, founder of Gandiva Yoga Center, talks with J about transitioning from independent contractor to center owner, the pursuit of deeper understanding, and the in's and out's of dedicated locations. They discuss how a blue-man group audition led to yoga, being a child actor, finding a teacher and lineage, John Friend's bowspring system, studying with Ragunath, falling out with studio owners, consistent schedules, challenges of creating a home studio, credibility of having a lease, and risking it all on the possibility of lasting joy.

| 0:00.0 | All right. Here we are. This is Jay Brown Yoka Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown, |
| 0:17.6 | and I am coming to you from Austin, Texas. And if you are a regular listener, |
| 0:26.4 | you would know that the last time I was traveling and I had to record intros and |
| 0:34.9 | afteros for the podcast, I said that I was not going to do that again. |
| 0:40.9 | Because it's always so challenging to find a moment, to steal away. I'm not on my usual equipment. |
| 0:51.3 | I'm usually in kind of a very weird state that's not the place I would normally |

| 1:51.3 | friendship with Jennifer and Timo. And it's so interesting that I'm here seeing Jennifer |
| 2:00.0 | and I'm also having to do this intro for this week's episode |
