Right Relationship with Our Bodies

Featured Practice, Yoga Sutras

In this episode of the “Two Old Fogey Yogis” podcast, our two yogis continue their discussion of aparigraha, the fifth and final yama, with an examination of two of its very subtle aspects: the teaching of not receiving gifts, and of one’s relationship to the physical body. What kind of invisible strings may be attached to a gift given and received? And, how much of our energy is spent invested in body consciousness—whether through pampering or perfecting an asana. Listen onSoundcloud, iTunes, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Pandora and other podcast apps.
