  • 29. Mindfulness Yoga: The Body
    2024/06/25

    In this companion episode to Episode 28, I offer a very short sampling of how we can bring the teachings of the satipatthana-sutta related to Mindfulness of the Body into the postural practice of hatha-yoga.


    Remember, our principle that we are not here to make asanas of ourselves and that it is NOT about how we look or what we can do, but rather what can we see about the lived experience of the body.

  • 27: Hatha Yoga & The Foundations of Mindfulness
    2024/05/22

    In this episode I take off from where I left off in Episode 26 and introduce the Foundations of Mindfulness taught by the Buddha which serve as the "curriculum" for Mindfulness Yoga. Discussed is the understanding of Buddhism as a fully integrated Yogic Culture; what Hatha-Yoga is; and how postures of hatha-yoga can be practiced in such a way as to be a comprehensive Mindfulness Practice.

  • 26: Isn't All Yoga Mindful?
    2024/04/01

    I've often been asked what makes Mindfulness Yoga different than other forms of Mindful Yoga or simply yoga done mindfully. Well, here's my answer.


    This episode also serves as an introduction to a series of episodes that will be devoted to the four domains of mindfulness.


    If you wish to try for one of 5 signed copies of my book, that I am offering for a contribution of $30 or more, please note in your "DANA" offering that you wish to get a copy and add your email address as well as your mailing address.

  • Ep 25: Embracing Transformation
    2024/03/04

    In this second in a series of coversations between Barrie Risman and Pobsa Frank Jude, they discuss the third of the principles Barrie enumerates in her book, "Evolving Your Yoga."

    Along the way, they discuss the difference between "change" and "transformation", the three aspects of Kriya Yoga and how to understand them in a contemporary practice context, different understandings of "self" and the relationship between "self-effort" and "grace" such as in what way does "grace" play a part for a non-theist naturalist?

  • Ep 24: "Destroying Mara Forever"? I Don't Think So.
    2024/01/15

    In this first episode of 2024, Pobsa shares his vision for the new year and what he wishes to offer here at Pobsa's Dharma Lounge. Among other things, he will offer occasional book and film reviews so this episode presents a mini-review of a collection of essays about Buddhist ethics.


    Pobsa takes this opportunity to teach a bit about Mara, sometimes inaccurately referred to as the "Buddhist devil."

  • Evolving Your Yoga: Studentship
    2023/09/18

    In this first of a series of discussions regarding the evolution of personal practice, Pobsa and Barrie Risman discuss, among other things, what it means to "evolve one's yoga". What aspects of practice change over time and what, if anything, remains the same.

    From there, they go on to discuss the student/teacher relationship and how it has generally changed with the commodification of yoga into a consumer/provider relationship and what that means for yoga practice and teaching itself.

  • What Do We Know?
    2023/08/31

    In an exchange between Ananda and the Buddha, the Buddha tells Ananda, "It is much better to talk of what you know than to speculate foolishly." Sound advice, but what do we actually know?

    In this episode, Pobsa explains how our perceptions are constructed and thus open to inaccuracy. After describing several ways we "fool ourselves" he offers some practices to correct for all-too-common cognitive biases.

    If you wish to learn more about the nature of the mind according to the Buddha's teaching in the Satipatthana-Sutta, as well as tools for critical thinking based upon neuro- and cognitive science, you can join Pobsa for a four-week course starting Sept 9. All sessions will be recorded if you cannot make the live session.
