In this episode, we unmask yoga's fundamental concepts, bring to light its age-old origins, and illuminate its eight-fold path as outlined in the revered guidebook - Yoga Sutras. This isn't just a chat about flexible bodies and balanced postures; we delve into yoga's core as a unifying force, a bridge connecting the mind and body towards a shared objective.
This conversation goes beyond the mat; it's an exploration of the psyche, a deep dive into our inner selves. Our discussion extends to the power of self-reflection and the remarkable impacts of awareness and presence in our lives. Discover how yoga can help discern between anxiety and excitement, why pain should be greeted as an ally rather than an adversary, and how yoga can guide you back to wellness. Let's explore together the manifold benefits of yoga on our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Join us; we're not just sharing information; we're sharing personal experiences, insights, and a warm, welcoming space for those ready to embark on a journey with yoga.
