How to Connect Spiritual Ideas to Real Life
|
Greetings Reader - I can’t think of a time in my life when it’s been more important to know how to apply the ancient wisdom of yoga to our lives than right now. Traditional yoga wisdom sometimes feels out of reach—a mysterious collection esoteric ideas, rigorous practices, and lofty goals that seem disconnected from our everyday experiences. And when we feel a special sense of urgency about our everyday experiences, we might think that studying yoga philosophy is a luxury for when we have leisure time in a stable world. But yoga philosophy isn’t just meant to be informative; it’s meant to be transformative. What if the transformational power of yoga is just what we need to meet the moment? What if tapping into that power can help us maintain our balance in a topsy-turvy environment and show us how to infuse our actions with clarity and force? The truth is that yoga wisdom is meant to be a source of insight and strength in challenging times. That’s why the Bhagavad-gita was spoken on a battlefield! And that's what my next workshop is all about: HOW TO CONNECT SPIRITUAL IDEAS TO REAL LIFE Live via Zoom on Sunday, March 9 @ 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST This workshop will be recorded and available for replay Yoga teachers - earn 1.5 hours of CE credit with Yoga Alliance. Tuition: $27
This workshop will be a guided journey to discover how to connect six essential teachings from the yoga wisdom tradition to our personal, professional, social, and family lives. Yoga enthusiasts and spiritual sojourners will learn how following the roadmap to spiritual success that’s woven into the pages of yoga’s wisdom literature takes us through the world, not away from or around it. And when we follow that map armed with the wisdom of yoga, we’ll be able to move through the world with higher levels of understanding, steadiness, and power. Make yoga philosophy a lived experience! Join us to discover how ancient teachings can bring clarity and transformation to your life in a way that’s personal, practical, and relevant. Wishing you all good fortune, - Hari-k P.S.: I had a great conversation with Michael Kokal about the five secrets of the Bhagavad Gita on his End of the Road podcast. You can listen in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. |

Hi Reader, One of the questions I hear most often from yoga practitioners and students is some version of this: “How do I know what my dharma really is?” It sounds like it should be a simple question. But in practice, it rarely is. Part of the difficulty is that we’re usually trying to answer it while standing in the middle of competing pressures. Career expectations, family dynamics, financial realities, and the constant comparison culture of social media all influence how we think about our...
Hi Reader, Enrollment is now open for Finding Your Dharma, a live online course designed to help you explore one of life’s most important questions: What kind of life am I actually meant to live? In the yoga wisdom tradition, this question is explored through the idea of dharma—the alignment between your natural talents, your values, and the way you contribute to the world. When that alignment is missing, life can start to feel slightly off track. You may notice that: • you feel boxed into...
Greetings Reader, I hope you had an inspiring No Kings Day yesterday. Here in our nation's capital, as in many other cities big and small, the creativity of protestors was on full display with clever banners and costumes designed to ridicule Trump and his administration. There was also a lot of singing and joyfulness, which was very encouraging because prioritizing joy is one of the most important elements of a successful resistance movement. Tyrannical governments want to be feared; joy...
