165: Prana Bhakti and the Yoga of Right Relationships with Scott Blossom

The Cosmic Business Podcast

I’m taking a hiatus this summer, stepping back from content creation to focus on my writing project, so we will be sharing some of our favorite episodes over the next few weeks. These are impactful episodes that you might have missed, or if not, they certainly deserve to be revisited. Today’s episode was featured over two years ago as I recorded a live interview at a retreat in Baja, Mexico, with my yoga teacher, Scott Blossom.

Scott Blossom is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda. He is skilled at elegantly combining science with the experiential practice of yoga. Scott studied for a long time with the founder of Shadow Yoga, Shandor Remete, and he was also a student of Dr. Robert Svoboda. A yoga teacher since 1997, Scott has been an integral part of my life for more than ten years. In today’s conversation, Scott shares his journey into traditional Chinese medicine, yoga, and Ayurveda; what lights him up about his work; and his advice to others who are figuring out their purpose. We also discuss the decolonial worldview, waking up the inherent truths inside us, and the important role that yoga can play in overall awareness.
