Yoga, Rules, and Freedom
26 November, 2024
In this podcast, I explore the intricate balance between rules and freedom in yoga and life. Is following a rule in a pose truly "wrong," as one teacher suggested?

Drawing from Ashtanga yoga, cooking, music, and wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Vasistha, I examine the essential role of rules while honoring the need for individuality, creativity, and adaptability.
