All things Yoga, from the ground up. This podcast is devoted to applying the ancient teachings of yoga to the wild and weird world of the modern 21st century. We discuss everything from philosophy to practice because all life is Yoga. My name is Khushi. I am a yoga teacher of over 15 years trained in the classical styles of Himalaya Yoga, Sri Krishnamacharya, & Buddhist Meditation. This podcast was born because I wanted to bring fresh rooted perspectives to inspire people to deepen their practice.

The Atha YogÄnuÅ›Äsanam - A Yoga Podcast for the 21st Century is a truly enlightening and informative podcast that delves into the ancient science of yoga in a way that is accessible to Westerners. As a seeker, I have always been fascinated by the holistic nature and depth of knowledge that yoga encompasses, and this podcast has provided me with a rich ecosystem of information that I have yet to come across in other sources. Khushi, the host of the podcast, has done an exceptional job of creating content that is inviting and easy to understand while still offering a profound depth of knowledge that can benefit beginners like myself.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is Khushi's ability to share her wisdom in a relatable and authentic manner. Her delivery is eloquent, sharp, and inspirational, which holds a unique soothing quality for those who often find themselves caught up in the chaos of the 21st century. Whether through her novel podcast or her yoga classes/workshops, Khushi has managed to dissolve any difficulties or resistance one may encounter towards practicing yoga. Her dedication to promoting purity and the holistic nature of yoga shines through in every episode.
While there are many positive aspects to this podcast, one potential drawback is its limited number of episodes. As a fan, I am left wanting more content as each episode offers valuable insights that deepen my practice. However, I understand that producing high-quality episodes takes time and energy, so I will practice contentment for now.
In conclusion, The Atha YogÄnuÅ›Äsanam - A Yoga Podcast for the 21st Century is an outstanding resource for anyone interested in deepening their understanding and practice of yoga. Khushi's ability to bring ancient sacred texts to life in this modern age is truly commendable. Her reflections are thought-provoking and provide practical guidance for integrating yogic teachings into our daily lives. This podcast is a must-listen for yogis and newbies alike, offering comfort, information, and inspiration to all who tune in. I eagerly await the release of future episodes and commend Khushi for her wonderful service to the yoga community.
In this episode, we reboot our understanding of the Yama & NIyama, and how they provide a giant tree of protection for our spiritual lives. We will take a look at the classical 5 yama and 5 niyama presented by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, but also additional ones that are in the ancient text of the Yoga Yagñavalkya. In the beginning, the yama and niyama may seem like a list of dos and don'ts, but actually they provide a beautiful roadmap of the path to liberation, and how to right the course if we have gone asunder. The beauty of the yama and niyama is that as we deepen in our understanding, their subtly opens to us naturally, rather than something we try or force ourselves to do. They are the beginning of the practice, and strengthen as a by-product of our practice as well. We will take a look at the following Yama: 1) Ahimsa - Non-harming 2) Satya - Truthfulness 3) Asteya - Non-stealing 4) Brahmacharya - Moderation of the senses 5) Aparigraha - Non-possessiveness 6) Dayā -Compassion 7) Ārajava - Sincerity/Non-hypocrisy 8) Kṣamā - Forgiveness 8) Dhṛitiḥ - Fortitude and, 9) Mitāhāra - Measured Diet And the following Niyama: 1) Saucha - Cleanliness [in the Yoga Yagñavalkya, Saucha is part of the Yama; however, Patanjali places saucha in the category of niyama and I have chosen to remain faithful to Patanjali's classification] 2) Santosha - Contentment 3) Tapas - Fire of Discipline 4) Svadhyāya - Self-study thru the Scriptures 5) Iśvara Praṇidhāna - Trustful Surrender 6) Āstikya - Faith in the Dharma 7) Dāna - Generosity 8) Mati - Self-respect 9) Hrī - Humility 10) Japa - Repetition of Mantra, and 11) Vrata - Taking of Sacred Vows
In today's episode of atha yoga I speak with Jörn Materne, pilgrimage guide and meditator, on his experiences leading and guided people on meditation journeys for the last 10 years. Pilgrimages are one of the lesser known unique ways of developing in your journey towards peace. Are pilgrimages still relevant for the modern seeker? And why even consider going on a pilgrimage if you follow a spiritual path? Come join this conversation to get inspired to deepen your practice! You can find out more about Jörn and his tours on his website: www.dhamma-yatra.com or email him at jomaterne@hotmail.com.
Today's episode is about the embracing of Bardo - the space between things. As we transition between 2020 and 2021, learn how the teachings of the Bardo can literally change your mind.
In the second round of atha we get into the kleshas or the obstacles to our happiness. How can we overcome the ignorance of the mind, and is ignorance really all that bad?
We start of our first episode of Atha Yogānuśāsanam with a tribute to the very first sutra and what this “atha” or Now means. Join me in an interesting look at sutra 1.1
