Studio Talks

In 1995 Richard began giving talks on yoga philosophy at the Yoga Workshop immediately following the Sunday afternoon Mysore practice. Initially, the talks occurred whenever Richard was inspired to talk after class. Advanced notice of a talk would be given as Mysore participants were rolling up their mats at the end of class: “There will be a talk in about 10 minutes, if anyone is here.” Some of these early talks were recorded and produced as “Studio Talks” CD’s by Sounds True.

In an effort to give a little more lead time to all of us, we began announcing dates and topics for talks a few years back. The talks are free and open to all. Talks are held as scheduled on Sundays from 5:45 to 7:00 pm.

Dates for Fall studio talks:
