Today's guest is an unusual one for us. Though he's as devoted to his Ashtanga yoga practice as anyone I know--he doesn't teach. at least, not in the formal sense. Instead, he rising at 3 am so he can practice before he leaves for work as a tradesman.

He also isn't on social media. So you're more likely to find him in his utility truck at lunchtime listening to Krishna Das than posting on instagram or twitter.

But what is perhaps most unique about today's guest is Mark Bint grew up with two parents who cannot hear; Mark is known as a CODA, a child of deaf adults. And why Meghan and I asked him to do this interview.

You see, we were putting together May's issue of The Path, which is a journal member's of our community receive each month. The archetype of this issue was the Wild One with a bodily awareness that involves all the senses. And so we thought it would be interesting to know Mark's experience of listening and self expression, growing up with two deaf parents as part of THE PATH -- not the podcast.

But when I listened to Mark's story, I knew it was bigger than just the journal. It really touched my heart. And parts that broke my heart too. And yet it was in those broken bits that Mark found his calling. Not as someone who teaches the practice, but as a person who actually lives it.
