Could you imagine a yoga class without postures?  In fact, millions of dedicated yoga practitioners don't practice asana at all. In this episode, Annie and Jen discuss ways to engage with the teachings separate from asana, drawing on guidance from the "Bhagavad Gita" and their own experiences. "Bhagavad Gita" quote mentioned in the episode: Chapter 2 Verse 42-43"There are ignorant people who speak flowery words and take delight in the letter of the law, saying that there is nothing else. Their hearts are full of selfish desires, Arjuna. Their idea of heaven is their own enjoyment, and the aim of all their activities is pleasure and power."Summer Recommended ReadingContemplating Reality, Andy KarrWaking, Matthew SandfordDavid Copperfield, Charles DickensSilo Series, Hugh Howey~ ~ ~We love to hear from you!

In this episode of Beyond Asana, we pose the question, why are the Yoga Sutras the go to text for modern Western yogis? The answer lies at several points on a long, winding road. Join me on the journey of looking at the Yoga Sutras from their collation by Patanjali around the 5th century, the decline in practice of the Yoga Sutras in the 16th century, the British encountering them in the 18th century and then exporting them to Europe, Vivekananda bring them to the United States in 1893, then back to India where Krishnamacharya and Iyengar introduce them to their practices. At the end of all of this, I do have an answer to the question, why are the Yoga Sutras so important to modern Western yogis, but it is a multi-part answer.

Nameste! Welcome to Beyond Asana: Yoga and Spirituality in the West. This podcast will explore the intersection of yoga and its spiritual traditions as they have encountered and become infused into the Western world.

This is the first episode of an 8 week series into the 8 Limbs of Yoga! Yama being the first. Yamas are all about your ethics and morals. Thor and Kloee speak about ways that we as teachers can practice different aspects of Yamas like Satya, or Truthfulness for example. This limb has us reflect on how we show up in the world, and how we practice self discipline. It's a great reminder that yoga is a lifestyle, and applies not only on our mats, but in our lives outside of the studio.https://www.theelegantoutlaw.com/freshbreathforyogateachers/yamas

Melanie Green talks about the viewing parenting, business, and life through the lens of the Yoga Sutras.

Susanna Barkataki is a teacher, coach, inclusivity promoter and yoga culture advocate. She helps yoga teachers, studios, nonprofits and businesses become leaders in equity, diversity, and yogic values so they can embody thriving yoga leadership with integrity and confidence. More than probably any other yoga teacher and social media presence, Susanna broadened Liz's perspective about what it means to honor rather than appropriate and understand what it means to teach yoga with privilege and as a white woman in the modern world. We talk about all this and more, including Liz's plans for the future of Beyond Asana and how supporting others' healing process is essential for the wellbeing of all.

Aaron fangirled a bit during Episode 4. Robert Sturman is more than a photographer. He is a linguist who captures the spirit and language of yoga in photography in a way we’ve never seen before. He reminds us that across cultures, across boundaries, we are all human. We can all practice and live yoga, despite any apparent differences in the way we look or speak. Plus, he calls Aaron a dude, which is the cherry on his Beyond Asana cake.

Gina Macauley is a Yoga teacher, a qualified yoga therapist, and the owner of YogaHara, a yoga studio based in Bendigo, Victoria. In this conversation, we learn about Gina's background, how she discovered yoga and decided it was the path for her. We see Gina's commitment and love of Yoga philosophy in the way that she runs her business and lives her life. She also has a lot of really practical suggestions and great ideas including how she has used Facebook live to create an at-home practice option for her students. We also discuss Gina's Adrenal healing workshops. As we learn in this episode, modern life can be very taxing on the adrenal system, so the kriya practised in this workshop can be really valuable.

Yoga, in many ways, has been in dialogue with other religious traditions. One needs to look no further than the Yoga Sutras as proof of this ongoing dialogue. In this episode, we ask the intriguing question: can modern yoga be enriched by incorporating other practices and techniques from the world’s religions?

Our guest today is Satya Kalra. If you listened to my very first episode of this show:The 7 Steps to Activating Your Highest Potential ( http://visionarylifestylepodcast.libsyn.com/rss ), you’ll know that the chakras are considered one of my 7 steps, so the purpose of this interview is to take a deep dive on that subject. Satya Kalra is a self-transformation, empowerment, and happiness coach, spiritual guide, international speaker, and bestselling author. She is also a founder and president of the non-profit organization Path to Anandam to help people to explore their eternal happiness and peace within. She was a veteran in the biotech industry for 35 years serving as a visionary, entrepreneur, scientist, founder, CEO, president and chairperson. Following a divine call, Satya left the helm as a CEO in the biotech industry (cancer arena) and founded Path to Anandam . Her personal mission is to live in love, peace, and Anandam, and to propagate blissful living by helping others become more self-dependent and self-reliant, especially destitute women and children. For more than 20 years, Satya has been practicing and promoting awareness of blissful living through applications of timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and spirituality in daily life. She creates a bridge between science and spirituality, and brings awareness to spirituality through ancient wisdom from India with a modern practical approach. The focus of Satya’s teachings is how to be happy, heal yourself, enhance the quality of life, experience blissfulness/Anandam and reach your unlimited potential by raising your conscious level through self-developed 7-Steps. These easy, simple and effective techniques (Anandam meditation and spiritual practices) for the body, mind and spirit have benefited 1000s of people. I met Satya at The International Yoga festival in Rishikesh, India. I attended her Chakras workshop and invited her to the show to share her vast wisdom on the subject she’s been teaching for over 20 years.
