How Yoga Heals Grief — J. Brown on Breath, Authenticity & the Art of Slowing Down
Discover how yoga can help us heal grief, reconnect to our breath, and rediscover meaning in this heartfelt conversation with J. Brown, longtime teacher, writer, and host of the podcast J. Brown Yoga Talks.
After losing his mother, J. turned to yoga not as a physical discipline but as a refuge—a way to navigate grief through breath, awareness, and compassion. His journey from the intensity of Ashtanga and Iyengar to the breath-centered lineage of T.K.V. Desikachar and T. Krishnamacharya reveals how slowing down can open the doorway to transformation.
Together we explore what it means to live—and teach—authentically in today’s fast-paced, commercialized world of yoga. J. shares insights from decades of teaching that remind us yoga is less about perfection and more about presence, care, and honesty with ourselves.
