Ask, “Who is Number One in your Life?” and the answer will most likely be some version of: my children, my husband, my parents, or my job. This was my journey as well.

Last week, Dr. Oz recounted the story of a man named Joe who went into cardiac arrest at an airport baggage claim area. Fortunately, Dr. Oz was also in that baggage claim area and saved Joe's life. This past week, Joe was featured on "The Dr. Oz Show." In this clip, Dr. Oz introduces Joe to Dr. Dean Ornish (a student of Swami Satchidananda) and arranges for Joe to join the Dean Ornish Lifestyle Medicine program to help Joe never experience cardiac arrest again.

I’ve been listening to a wonderful podcast lately: "Two Old Fogey Yogis." I’ve been enjoying it a lot and was a bit disappointed to hear they will be wrapping up their first season soon and they don’t have plans at present for a second season. I’m not a big podcast listener—at first, I was rather intrigued by the name: “Two Old Fogey Yogis.” I’m a yogi and well, I’m pretty old or so the calendar tells me. Perhaps this podcast would be something I could really relate to? MORE

Under cover of darkness and with no word of his plans, Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Mingyur Rinpoche walked away from his life to live that of a wandering yogi. For Rinpoche, these challenges—begging, finding food and shelter, illness, and all the risks of wandering incognito from place to place with the barest of possessions—present fertile ground for deepening insight into the true nature of the mind. This new film will stream March 19–29 on Vimeo.

In part 1 of their discussion on brahmacharya, our two yogis delved into the subtle layers of this Yoga teaching. In this episode, they go deeper still and Swami Asokananda talks about stumbling blocks on the path and in leading a life of brahmacharya as a sannyasi (monk who takes vows of celibacy). He candidly shares a personal challenge, what ensued and how he moved on to re-embrace this lifestyle. Listen on Soundcloud, iTunes, Spotify & other podcast apps.
