on Being host, Krista Tippett, reflects on her public radio interview with world-renowned yogi and activist, Seane Corn. Ms. Tippett describes as a “spiritual technology” capable of radically transforming our inner and outer worlds:

“I also see this yoga phenomenon as part of a larger move that we’ve variously explored towards rooting — or rather, reintegrating — the body into spiritual and religious traditions, from Judaism to Pentecostal Christianity… the more completely we inhabit our own bodies with both their strengths and their flaws, the more compassionate we become towards all of life. That’s the kind of earthy, reality-based mystery I love.”

You can download the full program as well as every many other amazing interviews with some of the world’s leading thinkers on faith, meaning, ethics, and ideas for free at the on Being website. We also recommend The Body’s Grace, a program they did with yoga teacher Matthew Sanford in which he describes his experience on the mat after being paralyzed from the waist down.

Tell us what you think: Is yoga a spiritual technology in today’s modern world?
