Today’s episode features a deep dive into the intersection of social media and yoga. It’s an important listen for those active on social media, as well as for those who may have chosen to disconnect from it due to its distractions. We have Daniel Simpson, the author of “The Truth of Yoga,” joining us in discussing discernment and digital yoga.
Daniel and I are exploring the effects of consuming yoga content on social media, comparing short and long-form content for learning, improving critical thinking, setting goals, using social media effectively, and measuring success in yoga and studies.
It is crucial to strike a healthy balance between our interaction with technology and our dedication to yoga so I’m thrilled to bring you this episode!
Daniel Simpson is the author of The Truth of Yoga, an accessible guide to yoga history and philosophy. He teaches courses on these subjects at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, on yoga teacher trainings and via his website, truthofyoga.com. In a previous career, he was a foreign correspondent, working for Reuters and the New York Times. These days he uses his interviewing skills to host the Ancient Futures podcast.
