New Interview on Spirit Matters
Embodying Philosophy with Jacob Kyle
Enjoy the latest illuminating conversation on my podcast. It’s FREE.
My guest is Jacob Kyle. Jacob is a scholar, an educator, a yoga teacher, a meditation teacher, and a writer. He holds a master of philosophy degree in classical Indian religions from Oxford University, an MA in philosophy from the New School for Social Research, and an MS in political theory from the London School of Economics (2007). As if they weren’t enough higher education, he is currently earning a doctorate at Oxford, doing research on a philosophy of creativity rooted in Kashmir Shaivism, of which he is a passionate advocate and practitioner.
An online impresario with excellent offerings for the spiritually and philosophically inquisitive, Jacob is the founding director of Embodied Philosophy, a learning platform with an extraordinary collection of courses, lectures, and workshops, now celebrating its 10th anniversary. He also hosts the podcast “Chitheads” (chit means consciousness in Sanskrit). His guiding mission, he says, is “to re-imagine the modern function of the yoga teacher so as to be in greater alignment with the teachings, texts, and traditions of yoga's rich and profound history.” We spoke about the challenges of doing that, the origin and purpose of Embodied Philosophy, and a great deal more. Learn more about him and his work at Jacob's website.
