Summary

You are listening to the free version of J. Brown Yoga Talks. To hear the rest of our conversation, please subscribe to podcast premium at: https://www.jbrownyoga.com/premium.

Kishor Stein is a former student of Manouso Manos who talked with J at the end of last year about the abuse he witnessed, but it was never made public until now. Seven months later, they reconnect to introduce the episode by discussing why it was not originally released and why they are doing so now. The original conversation is about the overt and subtle abuse that is commonplace in yoga classes, power imbalances and sexual assault, charisma and cult of personality, and the pain of having a teacher you once admired but can no longer support.

0:00.0	Okay, we're on. This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. Welcome to any new
0:19.0	listeners and how the rest of y'all doing. Is everybody okay?
0:24.8	You know, today's episode is coming to you under highly unusual circumstances. First thing is,

1:04.0	It's never happened that there's been so much time
1:06.8	between when an episode was recorded and when you're hearing it.
1:11.7	And I think it's important for you to know why.
1:16.0	Why did this episode never post seven months ago back when it was recorded?
1:21.9	And why are you hearing it now?
1:26.2	And in order to do that, I felt like it needed to come from Kishore as well.
1:32.9	Like, it didn't feel right to just have it be me because I wasn't the one who decided to not have
1:38.9	it post Kishore was. And I felt like I didn't want to put words in his mouth or say it wrong and the only way to
1:46.9	ensure that it would come out right was to have Kishore's voice as well as mine introduce it.
1:56.9	So the first 15 minutes of what you're about to hear was recorded two weeks ago
2:04.1	after Kishore and I had reconnected some, and we recorded just this brief intro to what
2:12.9	you're going to hear today and why. And then you'll hear the full-length conversation that we
