Asher Luzzatto

The Downward Facing Spiritual Spiral

Today on the Spiritual Spiral, you're in for a wonderful chat as I'm thrilled to welcome my friend and the uber talented, multifaceted and mayoral candidate, Asher Luzzatto, to the show. Asher is an attorney and works in real estate and he's also been a leader in the preservation movement in Los Angeles. Most notably, Asher is also running for mayor where he hopes to prioritize the environmental, social and cultural strength of Los Angeles over the short-term political gain. I met Asher close to six years ago at Hyperslow, which was the yoga and meditation studio he co-founded and also one of the yoga studios I started my journey as a yoga teacher. Asher and I cover a myriad of topics including health, politics, homelessness and what ultimately was the catalyst that drove Asher to run for mayor. We talk about the confusing and unstable times we live and how it can be amplified when the news media stops offering nuanced perspective. We discuss the paradoxical nature of human beings especially when living in such a tech driven and capitalistic culture. We talk about the value of creative expression, meditation, slowing down, and being open to fresh perspectives. And Asher ends the show by sharing a personal story about why he was drawn to yoga, meditation and living a more introspective lifestyle. You can find Asher on IG @must_ash or you can find him online at www.asherluzzatto.com or www.asherformayor.com.
