  • Share Your Gifts
    Apr 17 2026

    We are in need of each other's gifts as we face life's challenges. Yoga provides a system for both resetting, so that we are able to function effectively; and a way to tap into the inspiration that lets us know what to do. In this episode, I talk about the importance of doing that thing that our inspiration leads us towards. This episode also appears with video on YouTube.com/@peterspodcast.

    You can study with Peter online or in person at ishta yoga.com.

  • Celebrate New Years with a Pause
    Dec 31 2025

    New Year’s Day is often considered a time for resolving, correcting, directing, redoubling. What if instead, it was a day of still point — a moment when the last year is over, and we can let go of those efforts, those judgements, those conceptions? And pause. And breathe.

    Peter talks with Wendy Newton about their New Years Day class at ISHTA Yoga. Join in person or on line here.

    Happy New Year!

  • I'm Whole — I'm a Fragment: Why Yogis Meditate
    Dec 3 2025

    Today's practice is a potent kriya yoga meditation that has come down through the lineage of Paramahansa Yogananda. At ISHTA Yoga we call it the diksha, or initiate practice that sets you on the way to experiencing why yogis meditate.

    Enjoy the intro talk, or settle in for a meditation practice — and practice is what yoga is all about.
