Some friendships are rooted in decades of shared practice, laughter, and the love of yoga.
In this episode of the Yoga Inspiration Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend and legendary Ashtanga Yoga teacher David Swenson to talk about his new book Only Dead Fish Go With the Flow.
David shares what sparked the idea for the book, a collection of stories, reflections, and wisdom from years of living yoga on and off the mat. We talk about the writing process, the surprises along the way, and why he chose to self-publish to keep his voice true and unfiltered. He even reads a few anecdotes straight from the book.
We also reflect on the simple joys of life: teaching students across the globe, staying connected to loved ones, and tending to the fruit trees on David’s Hawaiian land.
This conversation is a reminder that yoga is more than poses, it is about living with courage, humor, and a willingness to swim against the current when your heart says so.
