New Podcast from the archives: Saanen talks. Teacher Untraining Baja California May 25-31 The usual teacher student relationship of culture is the social dynamic of disempowerment. This is to be seen and understood and made redundant. Because this hidden hierarchy is the only framework there is, it is the teacher’s responsibility to dismantle it. There is only the singularity of all in the All, the one reality, the power of the cosmos, the movement of life that lives all. (fb)

New Heart of Yoga Podcast out today. From the archives: a talk from Saanen Switzerland.. the historic site of the Krishnamurtis, J and UG. In this gathering in the Swiss village of Saanen, Mark shares the message: there is nothing to seek, because you are already that which you seek. Against the backdrop of rich spiritual history and a deep personal lineage, Mark delivers a talk that challenges the very core of modern spiritual systems, branding culture, and the search for enlightenment. Drawing from the teachings of Krishnamacharya, Desikachar, and the radical honesty of U.G. Krishnamurti, this episode reframes Yoga as not a goal or path, but an intimate participation in what is real—life itself. He discusses… Why the ideal of a “perfect person” has deeply disempowered humanity How Yoga was distorted by systems of effort, hierarchy, and branding U.G. Krishnamurti’s radical realization and the myth of spiritual seeking The social hoax of striving, self-improvement, and enlightenment fantasies How true Yoga arises spontaneously from intimacy with breath, body, and life The feminine principle, cosmic relationship, and restoring our natural intelligence Favorite Phrases: “The Guru has no followers. The Guru has friends to help.” “Stop looking. Start living. Your Yoga is the living of it.” “You are the power of the cosmos. You don’t have to become it—you already are.” “No more gymnastics. No more spiritual gymnastics. Yoga is participation in life.” (fb)
