Let’s Talk About Yoga & Sexuality

Featured Philosophy, Yoga Sutras

How do we integrate Sri Patanjali’s teachings about sex/celibacy/continence in today’s world? What does brahmacharya really mean? Swami Asokananda and Rev. Prem (the two yogis of the “Two Old Fogey Yogis” podcast) consider various aspects of this yama (ethical precept) in terms of its relationship to the Yoga tradition, to pratyahara (sense-control) and to one’s spiritual path today. They also discuss the importance of knowing if the path you are on will ultimately lead you to the goal you seek.

Listen to this and all the episodes of the “Two Old Fogey Yogis” on Soundcloud, iTunes, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Pandora and wherever you listen to podcasts.
