J. Brown Yoga Talks

J. Brown has been running this interview show since 2015, and the guest list reads like a directory of the yoga world. With over 520 episodes, it is one of the longest-running yoga podcasts around. The format is straightforward: J. sits down with a teacher, therapist, or author and has an extended conversation that usually runs 60 to 90 minutes. The pacing is intentionally slow, which works well for the kinds of topics he covers. Recent conversations have explored nonduality, trauma-informed care, and the tension between authenticity and manipulation in yoga spaces. His interview with Bernie Clark about history, myth, energy, and spirit is a good example of the depth he aims for. The 4.2-star rating is lower than some others on this list, partly because J. has strong opinions and a contemplative style that does not work for everyone. But for teachers who want more philosophical depth and less business strategy, this is a rare find. The weekly episodes mean there is a massive archive to explore, and the conversations tend to age well because they focus on ideas rather than trends. His background in breath-centered, therapeutic yoga shapes the kind of guests he invites and the questions he asks.
