  Yoga Peeps
I spent part of my lunch breaking listening to an audio interview with Cyndi Lee while I was filling out checks to pay the monthly bills. I really enjoyed the conversation. Cyndi brings a Buddhist vibe to yoga so she emphasizes meditation and life style. She's invovled in a lot of interesting projects in New York and around the world. Lara Cestone, the founding spirit behind Yoga Peeps, really does a fantastic job bringing together lengthy (30-60 minutes, I think) interviews with yoga instructors around the United States and Canada. She has 19 episodes now, available as podcasts or mp3 files, with people like Ana Forest, Shiva Rea, and Kelly McGonigal, as well as lesser known instructors. Lara does this out of the goodness of her heart because there are no ads on the site and there does not seem to be a business model behind it.

Hi Michael,

Wow! Thanks for writing. Your work is beautiful. I love the entry about why yoga works, and your family, and how things are trapped in the facia. Right on. Good on you for sharing that info with the peeps. More of us need to recognize the suffering we're living with, and release it. Soooo bueno. Thank you! And, thanks for listening to YogaPeeps! A student of mine has been reading your journal, and just put together what she's been listening to, is Lara,(the one who taught class this morning) interviwing awesome yoga instructors, in order to share them with more people. Lightbulb went off for sure! Thanks for facilitating the connection.

Any-hoo good to chat, and lots of love to you! Keep on keepin on.

Love & namaste,

Lara

Many people hear voices when no-one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.
