In this deeply resonant episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, hosts Harmony Slater and Russell Case are joined once again by two of the most beloved teachers in the world of yoga and Buddhist philosophy—Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor. Together, they explore the eternal question: What does it mean to be truly happy?
Drawing from decades of yoga practice, philosophical inquiry, and embodied living, Richard and Mary illuminate how joy, contentment, and interconnection arise not from seeking, but from sensing—from tuning in to the subtle patterns of breath, body, and awareness.
From stories of moody teenagers and Michelin-star meals to the nature of embodiment, the group shares moments of insight, hilarity, and grace. You’ll hear how depression and suffering shape our paths, why mindfulness without embodiment can sometimes harm more than help, and how “looking again” may be the most profound spiritual practice of all.
Whether you’re a longtime yogi or simply curious about how to live with more presence and compassion, this episode offers a grounded, heart-opening invitation into the field of happiness that lives within each of us.
