Our next FREE Community Conversation
|
Greetings Reader - Our free monthly series, Community Conversations, continues next week. This month, we’re going to talk about how the wisdom tradition of devotional yoga offers us a unifying vision of a possible future as an alternative to the mythic core of fascism. The mythic core of fascism is one of rebirth through purification—as in "Make America Great Again." But at what cost? At the cost of truth, of conscience, of freedom, of the Earth herself! And yet, in the United States, fascism seems to be winning, at least for the moment. Why? Because it offers something that liberal ideologies have failed to produce: a clear unifying story. I hope you'll join us for our next COMMUNITY CONVERSATION a free monthly study group Live via Zoom @ 12:00 pm Eastern Time NEXT CONVERSATION: Wednesday, May 14, 2025 TOPIC: "THE UNIFYING VISION OF YOGA WISDOM" Registration is free – CLICK HERE to get updates and the Zoom link!

Greetings Reader, If you want to prove that a yoga teaching should be considered “right knowledge,” there are three kinds of evidence you have to present: Direct perception—does the teaching correspond to your lived experience? Logic—does the teaching make sense when you think it all the way through? Testimony—is the teaching corroborated by authoritative sources of knowledge? According to the Yoga-sutras, if a teaching meets all three criteria, we can consider it “right knowledge.” Which...
Hi Reader, The best way for a yoga teacher to get a return on the investment they make in training is to enroll in a program that offers practical, actionable skills for building a sustainable career. Skills like brand development, strategic marketing, and how to design classes and workshops that reflect your unique voice as a teacher. Unfortunately, these skills are often missing from YTT curriculums—making it harder for yoga teachers to recoup the time and money they’ve already invested. Of...
Greetings Reader, What does yoga philosophy say about . . . [fill in the blank]. Physical fitness? Mental health? Religion? Politics? The origins of the universe? The nature of consciousness? What do the teachings of yoga have to say about . . . anything? Well, actually, yoga philosophy has something to say about everything. This may come as a surprise if you think staying focused on the ultimate goal of yoga — realization of the true nature of the self — would narrow the bandwidth of...
