If you are looking to keep that yoga mindset going in between classes, check out the free Guru Singh Podcast. Guru Singh is a kundalini yoga teacher in Los Angeles who is popular for his talks as well as his music. He teaches packed “Humanology” classes Monday and Thursday nights at Yoga West, which is where the recordings for these podcasts come from.

The talks are generally about 30-40 minutes long and provide self-help talk peppered with kundalini yoga philosophy. His delivery is even and smooth, and he’s often soothing to listen to. He’ll often say just that one little thing that I needed to hear that day to give me a new perspective on a problem.

The information is provided in memorable but sometimes simplistic aphorisms – if you get annoyed at word etymology games (the whole “assume means you make an ass out of you and me” type of word play) then you might find his philosophy to be a bit too pat at times. He also goes off on anti-war, political, and vegan rants on occasion (though that might be a plus, depending on your political views). But overall, he provides a very inspiring and uplifting message that does not require a belief in any particular religion, faith, or political ideology.

You can also get copies of some of the yoga sets he teaches at Guru Singh’s blog.

In a self-help world where most “gurus” are trying to make a buck off everything they do, it is refreshing to see a guru give away his teachings on the Internet without asking for money in return. You can pay $16 per class to hear these teachings live, or you can get them free on the Internet. Not a bad deal, if you ask me.
