We love when our readers share their interests and passions with us and how Yoga figures into these! One Integral Yogi and car enthusiast, Jay Gillotti, has written a new coffee table book, Gulf 917. And, he’s featured on the podcast “Cars Yeah,” where in the opening of the program he shares how a quote from Swami Satchidananda inspires his life! The Porsche 917 is one of the most successful and iconic racing cars of all time, thanks in part to its starring role in the Steve McQueen film, “Le Mans.” And in a bit of syncronicity, Steve McQueen himself became a big fan of Yoga and integrative medicine during his cancer treatment. His doctor, Dwight McKee, is a close colleague of Dr. Sandra Amrita McLanahan, who started the U.S.’s first integrative medicine clinic, Integral Health Services, in 1976 in Connecticut. Dr. McKee joined IHS several years later as the associate medical director. Congratulations Jay and keep the inspiration flowing as you hit the road.

There’s no doubt that Patanjali intended brahmacarya (brahmacharya) to mean “celibacy.” He wrote for and to young men who were monks in training. Let’s break the word down just a bit. Brahma means God, specifically the God of creation. And it also is a shortened form...
Yoga is a path of liberation, and liberation has to begin in the here and now of our daily lives. We have to liberate ourselves from our own self-made prisons. These are prisons of attachments, concepts and habits, and the compelling forces of mechanical reactions and...
