Welcome to the Yoga Matters podcast with Emma and Andy Bacon…

These podcasts have been created to allow us to share the knowledge, musings, debates (and near arguments) we have about the life style principles and philosophies of yoga. 

They are a mix of the educated knowledge of an experience yoga teacher and the sceptical queries of her husband - an embryonic yogi (or more accurately ‘Bogi’ - please see our podcast on “The Meaning of Namaste…” for more information on bogi’s!). 

We hope, in sharing our discussions and thoughts, we can inspire other yoga practitioners and their partners, friends and families to broaden their knowledge and implementation of yoga into their everyday lives, beyond the 3rd limb of Asana - yoga movements (see “Intro to 8 Limbs...” podcast if you need more information about this). We also hope to reach more men, particularly middle aged men. The husbands, brothers and fathers of people already practicing yoga… The ones who say - “I can’t do yoga, I’m not flexible enough!” - as we have experienced first hand what an incredibly positive effect yoga can have on the quality of their lives and their well-being. 

Please let us know if we achieve any of these ambitions, as we’d really like to know if we are hitting our intentions. But even if we are not - we’re having such a great time making these recordings that we’ll probably carry on anyway! :-)
