Podmasana is a spirituality and meditation podcast exploring the world's wisdom traditions—from Buddhism and Hinduism to Sufism, Christian mysticism, Indigenous teachings, and beyond. Host Brendon Orr brings you in-depth conversations with spiritual teachers, scholars, monks, yogis, meditation guides, and wisdom keepers about ancient practices, sacred texts, and contemplative paths. Each episode examines topics ranging from the Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta philosophy, Buddhist meditation and mindfulness practices, yoga's spiritual roots, Kumbh Mela and sacred pilgrimages, the eight limbs of yoga, breathwork and pranayama, mantra and chanting, energy healing traditions, mystical poetry, consciousness studies, and how timeless spiritual wisdom applies to modern life. Whether you're a dedicated practitioner, spiritual seeker, comparative religion student, or simply curious about meditation and contemplative living, discover authentic voices bridging academic rigor with transformative personal insight. Featured guests include mathematicians exploring Gandhian philosophy, doctors awakening amidst life's challenges, therapists integrating somatic healing with energy work, yoga teachers navigating tradition and innovation, and educators reimagining learning as spiritual practice. Join us in exploring consciousness, personal transformation, and the universal threads of human spirituality. New full episodes currently release every other Wednesday for the public and 3 days in advance for Podmasana+ members. Previews for each upcoming episode release a week in advance.
