yogasutras

This is a very special, heartfelt episode filled with joy and miracles. 

• Jannelle has a yoga nerd moment and shares a practice that has been helping her get out of her head and into her heart, and connect to the joy of each moment.

• Jessica tells a story about an undeniable sign from a lost loved one in the form of a rainbow that she witnessed and shared with her entire family.

• We talk about living from the heart in a way that allows us to connect to magic and miracles - from believing in signs to feeling the joy of laying with your children as they drift off to sleep.

Melissa Townsend is an Artist, Author, Psychic & Astrologer.

Her paintings of the Yoga Sutras Book One and Book Two are available with translations and commentary, published in full-color, soft-bound books. She also features them in her meditation deck.

She hosts a popular YouTube series with videos on Astrology and the Tarot. 

In this episode we look at these universal questions through the lens of yoga philosophy and the path to Samadhi, a state of meditative consciousness and how this process of concentration and focus can be part of what we do in this very busy modern world.

From Patanjali’s Eight Limbs, we discuss the last three -Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi.

Exploring the Hathapradipika
Dr. Jim Mallinson

--------------
Most yoga teachers cite the Yoga Sutras as the original source of modern practices, but the Hathapradipika is a much more relevant text that is rarely read or referenced. Written by Svatmarama in the 1400s, this is one of the first writings that codified the practices of Hatha Yoga: yoga poses, breathing exercises, kriyas, and mudras. For anyone interested in the roots of modern practice, this is a fascinating historical exploration. Dr. James Mallinson leads the discussion. 

Listen and learn: 

• How the practices of hatha yoga differ from the philosophical tradition of yoga that predates it
• How yogis used poses, breath, cleansing exercises, and mudra
• Yoga then vs. now
• Nonsectarian practices used in sectarian context

Living from a place of intentional grace. In this interview, Katie’s teacher, Jesse Cassady touches on the resistance and fluctuations of the mind people, how the yoga practice allows people to sit with discomfort, and yoga as a practice for healing and growth both on and off the mat.

In this class I talk about letting all of life in... creating the conditions for wisdom to arise.

Inspired by Sutras 1.30 - 1.32 in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

"The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.  You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it.  That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand."  
- J. Krishnamurti

What does it mean to fully embody and live your why on a daily basis? We go behind the podium with Laura Ahrens, a coach, yoga teacher, yoga teacher-trainer, published-audible movement narrator, singer, piano player, harmonium player, graduate of The University of Arts with a bachelor of fine arts, Harry Potter fan, co-owner of a fashion company, recipient of a signature menu item named after her at Whole Heart Provisions in Boston, and an aspiring superhero with the power to re-align parked cars to make more space.

Laura holds a 200-hour certification in Hatha Vinyasa, a 200-hour plus advanced certifications in Forrest Yoga, and completed a year-long mentorship under the guidance of Dr. Heidi Sormaz and is currently in her 500-hour yoga therapy training with Sarahjoy Marsh at the DAYA Foundation.

Moreover, she co-created The New School of Yogic Arts—a teacher training school for those who want to learn to teach the practice of yoga as a living system that breathes differently in each body. Laura can be found teaching vinyasa and core flow classes at Coolidge Corner Yoga in Brookline, MA and at Sadhana Yoga in Boston, MA.

We cover:

• What it really means to live your practice
• Why intention must be met with action
• How to introduce yoga to new students
• Finding a mentor and the loneliness of the hero’s journey
• How the more you study and learn, the less you actually know
• Why it’s important not to include new information before you have digested it
• Why having a foundation before you innovate is critical
• and more!
