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. |

Greetings from Montserrat, Reader, Imagine what the Temple of Apollo at Delphi would have looked like if it had been designed by Dr. Seuss. That’s a fair description of Parc Güell, a festive 42-acre garden complex draped across the southern slope of Mount Carmel on the northern edge of Barcelona. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, whose Modernist architectural imprint is practically synonymous with the capital of Catalonia, Parc Güell’s undulating architectural forms are rich in symbolism, its native...
Greetings from Tarragona, Reader, I’m sitting a stone’s throw or two from the Mediterranean Sea after spending most of my first week in Spain doing a museum-a-thon in Madrid. If you like art, you’ll love Madrid. I’m not usually a big Picasso fan, but his Harlequin with a Mirror has a wonderfully trippy quality that gets lost in reproduction and Guernica up close is as epic as they say it is. Spending time in front of Bosch’s famous triptych, TheGarden of Earthly Delights, was another...
Greetings Reader, I don’t think of yoga as a commerce-driven wellness industry. I think of yoga as a movement driven by spiritual imagination. A movement that proclaims the possibility of a different reality. The thing fascinated me about yoga when I first heard about it was the idea that it was a way to expand your consciousness and experience reality on a higher level. And yeah, I did a lot of tripping as a teenager. But that came later. The idea that I could expand my consciousness was...
