Yoga, Rules And Freedom 36:44

منذ 14 weeks36:44

36:44

This podcast discusses the delicate balance between following rules and embracing freedom in yoga and life. Using Ashtanga yoga as a focal point, I highlight the necessity of structure for safety, grace, and empowerment while also exploring the pitfalls of rigid rule-following. I challenge the idea that rules are inherently restrictive or harmful, and address the danger of adopting a “do what feels good” approach without discernment. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Vasistha, I delve into the messy nuances of navigating right action, creativity, and flexibility within a system. The discussion examines the limitations of rigid practices, such as strict adherence to Ashtanga’s set sequences, while emphasizing the importance of allowing for personalization and adaptability. By addressing the harm of extremes—having no rules versus rigidly following them—I advocate for embracing complexity and balance in both yoga and teaching. Ultimately, yoga points us toward total freedom: the ability to respond spontaneously and skillfully to the moment, transcending outdated ideas and rigid structures. This conversation provides thoughtful insights for yoga practitioners, teachers, and anyone seeking to navigate life’s complexities with grace and wisdom.…

So sad that Sharath has departed so suddenly and so soon from this world. I’m thankful to have known him. I will remember him as a strong lineage holder, I will draw upon him for continued inspiration as a loving soul who carried on the torch of Ashtanga yoga with all his heart! The first and third photos were taken when I had the honor of hosting the family in Seattle in 2002. I offer my love and prayers to the Jois family and the whole world wide Ashtanga community.

Asana & Awakening Kundalini 50:44

منذ 41 weeks50:44

50:44

In this podcast, David defines the grand concept of Kundalini and how this main concept is associated with more familiar terms such as Prana, Shakti, Nadis, Shushumna, Mudra, Prana and Apana Vayu, as well as Mula, Uddiyana, and Jalandhara Bandhas. He outlines the classic tantric imagery that is ubiquitous to many of the sacred texts and discusses the relevance of this important schemata to the practice of asana, vinyasa, and pranayama. David reads from such sacred Hatha Yoga texts as the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Geranda Samhita, and Prasna Upanishad to give examples how the kundalini language and schemata are inherently embedded in these texts. He also gives examples of how the 7 asana principles are a secret, disguised road map to kundalini awakening. The asana principles: 1) Samasthiti is every pose, 2)crouch and spring to transition 3) ground legs and arms 4) awaken spine 5) tap breath 6 ) seal in energy 7) play with opposites…

How Many Asanas Are Enough? 48:23

منذ 1 year48:23

48:23

• Analysis of the great yogi Krishnamacharya’s statement that not all asanas are meant to be done by everyone—each individual will have their own custom list of asanas based on such factors as: age, experience, aptitude, interest, work or family responsibilities. • Probing the question of how important it is in Ashtanga to keep doing more postures and more difficult series. • Thoughts about the teachings in the Yoga Vashista that say, “A yogi should never make the least effort to get what doesn’t come to him/her/they without effort.” • Exploration of the word wisdom. What does the Bhagadvad Gita mean when it says: “Wisdom is the goal of every action.” • The importance of centering one’s practice around the foundational poses • Interpretation of a passage from the Isha Upanishad on finding balance between devoting oneself to the material and spiritual aspects of one’s life. • Recitation of a Kabir poem that that speaks to turning one’s attention to the mystery of it all.…

Myth of the Perfect Yogi 50:34

منذ 1 year50:34

50:34

The podcast is meant to let people know that it's natural and essential to show up to one’s mat in any number of different physical and mental states. Dealing with one’s darkness is as much part of the process as reaching for the light. And so there’s no need to feel like a bad yogi when you find that you are not happy or not detached--all the of the time. David questions the heavily marketed idea that yoga is primarily about wellness or feeling good or happy all of the time. There’s an idea that a good yogi detaches from all afflictions and masterfully transcends or stops negative impulses or reactive emotions. The models that populate yoga magazines and social media outlets are almost always shown to be strong, flexible, serene, happy, in control and at peace. David points out how these depictions are misleading and at odds with what actually happens when one takes up a steady daily practice. In fact, practice partly serves to help one raise up the darkness within, to face one’s shadow, and come into meaningful contact with one’s suffering. David discusses James Hillman’s idea that human growth and wisdom is only partly about overcoming darkness or reaching for the light or attaining to the high-pinnacled peak of spiritual ascendancy. Soul, in contrast to spirit, is the other equally important part of the equation for self discovery, self mastery, and self knowledge. Questing for soul involves traveling downward into the blue, dark, shadowy valleys of the psyche. David speaks about Hillman's insistence that the soul actually gains insight and wisdom through encountering afflictions (desires, attachments, fears, anger, sadness, grief, abandonment, loneliness, jealousy, and other strong emotions) rather than merely attempting to disengage, cut, repress or otherwise get rid of these challenging states. David reads several poems from such Bhakti poets as: Mirabai, Tulsidas, Hafiz, and Kabir to illustrate how these yogis accepted, worked with, and transformed their darkness into creative works instead of rejecting or shunning such aspects of themselves.

All About Dristi 40:18

منذ 2 years40:18

40:18

All things Dristi, a Podcast is devoted gazing, an important aspect of Ashtanga/Hatha Yoga Technology. Themes include: **Summary of the 9 most common gazing points (right and left sides of Parsva Dristi constitute 9 points): 1) Angusthamadhye Dristi –Middle of the Thumb 2) Bhrumadhye Dristi—Between Eyebrows, Third Eye 3) Nasagre—Down the nose 4) Hastagrahe—Hand 5) Parsva—Side 6) Urdhva Dristi—Above, Up, Rising 7) Nabhi Chakra—Magical Navel Circle 8) Padayoragre—feet *Discussion of the physical science of Dristi ** The wisdom of considering the overall mechanics of your positioning instead of thinking only of focusing your eyes in specific direction or on a chosen part of your body. **Meet the challenge of maintaining an aligned spinal column and a sound head position as you work with the gazing point for each asana. **Practice as though the act of gazing originates at the base of your spine and therefore gazing comes from your center. **The merits of alternating between 3 basic head positions in each pose: 1) Head up 2) 2) Head level 3) Head down (Jalandhara Bandha-esque) in each pose. This means instead of taking each gazing point too literally, you use different head positions and looking places in order to better use your senses to perceive your body’s position in space. *Alternate definitions of Dristi to give a more symbolic, psychological, and spiritual interpretation of the technology. Definitions of Dristi and branching discussions include: **Vision, view, notion, theory, attitude, point of view—related having your vision or notion about the pose you are making and also extending your visions and notions to other aspects of your life. **Seeing with the mental eye, knowing, knowledge, intellect, wisdom---related to the confidence and boldness in expressing your pose or transition and also extends the knowledge or wisdom or intuition that you bring to larger, more meaningful choices that you make beyond your mat **Regard, consideration, care—Besides where you look, Dristi is about how you look-- the quality and care of your attention, the intention behind your effort, the depth and penetrative aspect of what you see or focus on **Discussion of the highest definition of Dristi using the Jain definition that says Dristi is simply “the right application of Faith”—also Dristi-gazing—seves to help you drive away wrong faith or wrong perception with right faith or right perception…

Discovering Your Self Beyond Thought 54:48

In this podcast you will hear some creative perspectives on the Yoga Sutras: -YS 1, 2 Yoga Citta Vrtti Niroda--Union arrives when the field of the mind is cleared of thoughts -YS 1,3 Tada Drastuh Svarupe Avastham--Then the yogi finds his own peculiar way of seeing the world in its sacred entirety *Classic and alternative definitions of each individual word of the above Sutras. *Discussion of the important progression: vrtti—pravrrti—nirvrrti—in other words I discuss the necessity to use the intermediate step of Pravrtti or higher thoughts to go from the ordinary thinking mind (Vrtti) to a state of where all thought ceases (Nirodha) *Using a poem from the Bauls of Bengal (Gypsy Poets of India), I discuss learning to let go of needing to have it all and embrace your small, yet vital station in life *With a poem of Kabir, I discuss the necessity to trust the greater cosmic forces of the universe that are beyond your control *A small reading from James Hillman pertaining the concept of Svarupa—Intrinsic Essence *Discuss the connection between growing psychologically as an individual and attaining a more universal, all-inclusive spiritual perspective on your life. *A few pithy lines from the Yoga Vashistha on the importance of Self effort in charting your path through your life…

How are Yoga and Fitness Related? 49:04

منذ 3 years49:04

49:04

In this lively, informative podcast I discuss the connection between fitness and yoga. Topics include: 1)The idea that doing physical exercise is detrimental to or has nothing to do with yoga 2) The idea that pure movement or pure sport or pure physicality of any kind can reach up the spiritual. 3) The idea from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika that Hatha yoga (ie doing poses, breathing exercises, and bandhas) is designed to be a support for those who are constantly engaged in the practice of yoga–and how this theme relates to the practice of hatha yoga and fitness 4) The relationship between these 3 things: A) The deepest consciousness that yoga is all about B) Hatha yoga (practice of postures etc) C) Physical Fitness 5) The possibility that there is a necessity to engage in supplemental fitness practices in order to support an intense practice of asanas. I also discuss the following quotes from the sacred texts in terms of their relevant to the subject of the connections between yoga, hatha yoga, and physical fitness: "Self is… “the breathing behind breathing, the sight behind sight, the hearing behind hearing, the thinking behind thinking --the first – the ancient.” Brhadaranyaka Upanishad 4.4. 23 “With the mind alone one must behold it— Here, there is nothing diverse at all! from death to death he goes, who sees here any kind of diversity. As just singular must one behold it— immeasurable and immovable. The Self is spotless and beyond space, unborn, immense, and immovable. By knowing that Cosmic Person, a wise Yogi should obtain insight for himself. But, let him not ponder over a lot of words; it just tires the voice!” Svetasvatara Upanishad ch 2, verse 5 “When she keeps her body straight, with the three sections erect, and draws the senses together with the mind into her heart, a wise woman shall cross all the frightful rivers with the boat consisting of the fully realized vision of Self.” Yoga Vashista Ch 6…

My 10 Day Rice Fast 27:35

You can’t become complacent about any aspect of your life if you want to remain at your best. It’s so easy to slip into habits in the routine things you do, like your diet, practice and the thoughts you think. It’s common to ignore signs of sickness and become complacent. In this podcast David discusses that when you finally face you’re in pain and you’re suffering that’s when you need to simplify, break your habits, and embrace constant change and the unknown. The challenge of constantly pushing forward, learning, growing, and engaging in the evolution of yourself means sacrifice is needed. You have to give up things you become familiar with and attached to. And that process needs to continue for your whole life. That’s the recipe for health.…
