Michael Stone: Unplugging After Dinner
Yoga and meditation teacher Michael Stone and his family go offline every night after dinner. What do they do with their media-free evenings? Interview with Omega Institute for Holistic Studies
Awake in the World
Activist and Buddhist teacher, Michael Stone, explores being awake in the modern world, and how being intimate with one’s experience is a form of social activism.
A Journey of Return
In this talk Michael covers our tendency to compose narratives that create a separate self (and then judge it), and a paradox: we have to take care of ourselves in order to forget ourselves.
This Posture Can Support You
Michael leads a thirty-minute meditation mainly focused on feeling the body.
What Are You Committed To? Part Two
Michael explains ahimsa, the importance of attention, the role of asana, and the meaning of samadhi. (The talk ends abruptly. We suspect the recorder ran out of battery).
What Are You Committed To? Part One
Michael gave this talk in France in 2007. He presents yoga as a practice of intimacy and argues that its goal is compassion and relationship rather than unity.
