Evolving Traditions Podcast Trailer

Tanaya & Matt: Hello there, friends, seekers of truth, skeptics, and the quietly curious, you're listening to the Evolving Traditions podcast where we take an intimate, honest look at how the wisdom we've inherited meets the world we're living in now. However, you've arrived through chance, curiosity, or some kind of synchronicity, welcome. Something is shifting, something is evolving, and maybe so are you. I'm Tenea Tien, yoga therapist, yoga teacher, ever-evolving mother, human, and lifelong student. And I'm Matt Diktinsky, actor, comedian, former D-grade radio personality, old curmudgeon, and a weather beaten strumpet of a man. Across this series, we explore traditions spanning yoga and other Eastern disciplines, religion, marriage, politics, culture, film, theatre, music, comedy, and even ornithology. Yes, we'll be joined by a wide and unexpected mix of other human beings who are just trying to make sense of this modern life and questioning if what we've been told, taught, and led to believe is still relevant. Nothing is off limits. We'll lean into the nuanced, the uncomfortable and the real. Traditions do matter, they ground us, they guide us, they remind us where we've come from. But if they don't evolve, they risk becoming rigid and outdated and even harmful. At its heart, this podcast is a small offering toward a larger positive shift. Yes, hopefully towards a humanity that is kinder, more curious, less certain, and more open. We're certainly not here to throw the baby out with the bathwater. We're here to engage with tradition. Question it, challenge it, refine it, let it evolve so it can meet us where we are and stay alive for where we're going. Is it time for a shameless plug? Yes, yes, I think it is. We'll also explore themes from Taneya's book, Evolving Traditions, Yoga, Ethics and Modern Practice, the spark that has inspired many of these conversations. Evolving Traditions, Yoga Ethics and Modern Practice is available through online booksellers worldwide or in Australia at mindbodycollective.com.au where you can support local printing. You'll find some links in the description. Gee, Matt, you sound like a professional voiceover artist. Well thank you, Tanea. I am actually a professional voiceover artist. Indeed, for all of your voiceover comedy and and degrade acting needs, can find me at RGM Artist Management. So whether you're here to question, to learn, to unlearn, or to simply listen, welcome to the unfolding. Welcome to evolving traditions.
