Not Just Āsana – Détails, épisodes et analyse

EPISODE 10

Keith brings sutra 1.12 to the pod, which happens to be Sandy’s favourite! The pair discuss the power of self-reflection, what it means to “practice” yoga, and what their non-negotiables are each day. They get candid about their struggles with the practice and acknowledge how their bodies have changed over time. They explore letting go of your expectations of yourself, how to avoid the thief of joy (known as comparison), and instead take inspiration from others.

Keith also unintentionally outs Sandy’s past side-venture…

------

Sūtra:

abhyāsa vairāgyābhyāṃ tan nirodhaḥ ~ PYS 1.12

Interpretation by Sharon Gannon and David Life: “Identification with the fluctuations of the mind is stopped by practice and non-attachment.”

EPISODE 7

A seemingly obvious teaching on avoiding future suffering leads to a powerful discussion about everything from: the power of now, the butterfly effect, how injuries might be our best (but most annoying) teachers, regret, hope, diamond cutting, planting karmic seeds of generosity, having compassion for our past selves and why Back to the Future is one of the greatest films of all time.

------

Yoga Sūtra:

heyaṃ duḥkham anāgatam ~ 2.16

Interpretation by David Life: “Future suffering should be avoided.”
