Fundamentals of Yoga Philosophy course

Hi Reader, I typed the phrase "fundamentals of yoga philosophy" into the Google search bar. An AI Overview popped up. The first sentence was, "Yoga philosophy is based on the idea that the mind, body, and spirit are one and inseparable." This isn't just wrong; it's the exact opposite of yoga philosophy's first and most fundamental teaching: the categorical distinction between the spiritual self and the material mind and body. Google's confused simulacrum of intelligence also didn't have much to offer about the relationship between the ancient wisdom of yoga and life in the here and now. Which is the whole point of my course: to give you information about how yoga philosophy expands our view of reality and to illustrate the many ways that we can use this information to make a meaningful difference—in our lives and in the lives of others. Yoga enthusiasts, and especially yoga teachers, want to know how yoga philosophy can help us move through the world from a position of stability, strength, awareness, compassion, and hope for the future—our future and the future of our planet. Which is why I'm offering this course: FUNDAMENTALS OF YOGA PHILOSOPHY Essential Elements of Spiritual Knowledge Live via Zoom on starting this Sunday February 9, 16, and 23 @ 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST All live sessions will be recorded and available for replay Tuition for all 3 sessions: $97

Greetings Reader, Here it comes: the biggest shopping day of the year! The day after American Thanksgiving, otherwise known as “Black Friday.” I prefer to call Black Friday by its other name: Buy Nothing Day. Which means that, for me, it’s also Sell Nothing Day. So don’t buy anything I’m selling this Friday. Every other day, every other day, every other day of the week is fine, yeah. And if you were thinking about getting on the boycott train, Buy Nothing Day is a great day to cancel your...

Greetings Reader, It was very nice to receive so many replies to last week’s email. Reading about the many songs that inspire happiness in so many of you made me . . . happy. I’m also glad so many readers took me up on the challenge to find all of the song titles and references I inserted into my email. The funniest thing was that someone (thank you, Cynthia) found a couple of song titles that I didn’t even intend to include! They were “I Want to be Happy” from the musical No, No, Nanette...
