I’d love to recommend to you a great atheistic/skeptical podcast called Cognitive Dissonance, which can be heard online at http://www. dissonancepod.com (also on iTunes and Stitcher). It is an irreverent skepticism show produced by a couple of intelligent Chicago atheists who are also HILARIOUS. I think you may appreciate it.

Cheers!

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon your blog today. I too and a former “yogi” and former teacher of yoga and am from the Louisville area. I was searching methods of yoga and meditation that aren’t tied to “spirituality”. I guess I’m more agnostic than atheist and find myself questing if that agnosticism is a a “just in case” based in fear as a result of different experiences with superstitious beliefs from my sampling at different times different “spiritual paths”. In reflecting on my experiences, I find that I feel most connected to reality and most clear, rational and functional in my thinking when I step away from delineated paths and teachers and just talk a walk in the woods or go down to the river. Still there is that “seeking”, of what I am no longer certain. Anyway, thanks for what you have put forth in your blogging.

I’m a former yoga teacher. I taught for about 15 years, did yoga asana practice for about 20 and practiced and studied meditation and yoga philosophy for most of my life. During that time I considered myself Hindu and was initiated and named by guru … and encouraged to teach and initiate others. I’m 53 years old.

A couple of years ago I began to reject the supernatural aspects of yoga and religion in general. I joined local skeptic and atheist groups and felt the need to debunk the nonsense in yoga. Most of this came about because of the diagnosis of a life-long illness, one that I thought would be impossiblefor a yogi.

Since then I have toned down a bit. I’ll even go to church events with my wife (but she attends a very open minded church), but consider myself a naturalist. I do not believe in karma, reincarnation, etc.. I see the chakras as being symbolic and perhaps and ancient attempt to understand anatomy. I do see value in meditation and I have taken up yoga practice again, but from a new point of view.
Sorry to ramble on. I guess I’m just glad to see there are others.

Hi. I’m a naturalist yogi and I have a blog at the above website. I see “atheism” as defining one by what they don’t believe in rather than by what they do, so I stopped using the term even if it is accurate.

Namaste’
