Keen on Yoga
Hosted by Adam
A UK-based Ashtanga teacher explores the philosophy and modern application of yoga, from ancient texts to the ethics of a hands-on assist.
This is a teacher's podcast for serious practitioners, moving beyond postures to question the 'why' of modern yoga. Host Adam Keen uses his deep Ashtanga background to dissect complex topics like the role of touch, the evolution of Hatha yoga, and finding meaning in a daily practice. Episodes alternate between solo philosophical dives and long-form conversations with respected teachers, authors, and thinkers in the yoga world.
“Unlike many interview-only shows, Keen's frequent solo episodes offer a personal, reflective lens on complex yogic concepts, grounding them in his own decades-long teaching experience. He often challenges traditional interpretations to make them relevant for modern life.”
