Podmasana explores spirituality, meditation, yoga philosophy, and ancient wisdom through intimate conversations about spiritual awakening, personal transformation, and finding meaning in modern life. Host Brendon Orr brings you stories of doctors awakening through grief, carpenters becoming cancer warriors, educators reimagining learning, and seekers of all ages discovering truth—alongside monks, scholars, and spiritual teachers from Buddhism, Hinduism, and global contemplative traditions.
Each episode dives into topics like:
- Spiritual awakening through life's challenges: grief, illness, aging, and adversity - The Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta philosophy, and making ancient texts accessible - Buddhist meditation, mindfulness, and contemplative practice - Yoga as refuge: trauma healing, self-compassion, and regulation - The power of mind, thoughts, and consciousness - Spirituality in the age of materialism - Sacred pilgrimages including the Kumbh Mela - Pranayama, breathwork, mantra, and energy healing traditions - Motherhood, teaching, and finding spaciousness in daily life - Building wellness communities and accessible spiritual practice
Recent episodes feature a doctor's journey from grief to grace, a mathematician exploring Gandhian philosophy and India's education revolution, a therapist on trauma and collective care, a yoga teacher navigating motherhood and studio ownership, and an 82-year-old lifetime seeker asking "Am I ready?"
For anyone navigating spiritual awakening, seeking refuge in practice, exploring consciousness and meditation, or finding wisdom through life's challenges—discover authentic voices of transformation, from ordinary people's extraordinary journeys to scholars bridging ancient traditions with modern understanding.
