| LONGEVITY: nothing you do is a waste of time | 22 Oct 2025 | 00:43:16 | |
EPISODE 29 In this episode, Sandy and Keith explore the nature of practice over time — how yoga deepens not through grand milestones, but through quiet consistency. Returning to Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra and a timeless Bhagavad Gītā teaching, they reflect on what it means to stay the course, even when life pulls in many directions. Together, they unpack the idea that not everything needs to be “productive.” Through the lens of creative curiosity and the “multipotentialite” — one who thrives in many fields — they discuss how diverse interests can nourish rather than distract from the path of yoga. Keith shares insights from teaching outside his usual subject matter, while Sandy reflects on how practice, when approached with sincerity and care, compounds over time — becoming a steady ground beneath whatever life brings. SŪTRA: sa tu dīrgha kāla nairantarya satkārā sevito dṛḍha bhūmiḥ || 1.14 || “Your practice gains firm ground when cultivated for a long time, without interruption, and with sincerity.” ŚLOKA: nehābhikrama-nāśo ’sti pratyavāyo na vidyate svalpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt || 2.40 || “On this path, no effort is ever wasted, no gain is ever reversed. Even a little of this practice will shlter you from great sorrow.” Where to find us: Keith’s studio: Bija Yoga, Penrith Sandy teaches in Nipaluna/Hobart and offers online classes at sandyking.com.au Learn more about Sandy’s Golden Yoga School Teacher Training 2026 → sandyking.com.au/tt Stay connected: Keith → @bija_yoga Sandy → @sandykingyoga | |||
