Sharon Gannon, cofounder of Jivamukti Yoga and author of the extraordinary new book, Yoga and Veganism, shares with us that genuine yoga is not only compatible with, but actually requires, a vegan lifestyle. She bases this not simply on ahimsa, the doctrine of harmlessness that both yogis and vegans celebrate, but on yoga’s other precepts of non-stealing, non-covetousness, and not exploiting another sexually. Make yourself a cup of tea and snuggle up somewhere for an amazing hour of peace, freedom, and real-world spirituality.

Blast from the past! ~ Like yoga? You’ll love these previous episodes that explore it: yogini Kathleen Kastner delves into yoga as a helpful adjunct for weight loss in this 2016 episode; Sharon Gannon appeared previously in this 2018 episode; and celebrity yoga teacher Seane Corne appeared just last December.
A shoutout to our sponsor, Complement. Developed by vegan dietitian Dr. Pamela Fergusson, and the NoMeat Athlete, Matt Frazier, Complement enables you to get your vitamin B12, vitamin D3, and the essential Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA & EPA) in an easy once-a-day spray. The good folks at Complement also have Complement Plus, a vegan vitamin capsule that includes all the nutrients in Complement spray, along with zinc, iodine, selenium, magnesium,and vitamin K2. Essential for blood clotting, healthy bones, and heart health, the only plant-food source of vitamin K2 is natto, an obscure, fermented soy food and one that is definitely an acquired taste (and smell).
