The Yoga of Becoming Fearless


Hi Reader,

I'm writing to let you know about my next live online workshop:

The Yoga of Becoming Fearless

Sunday, February 1 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EST

Investment: $27

The workshop will be recorded: a replay link will be emailed to all registrants.

Participants can receive 1.5 hours of CE credit with Yoga Alliance.

The wisdom texts of the yoga tradition speak to the experience of fear in very direct and meaningful ways. And they prescribe spiritual practices that can help us to achieve liberation from fear on multiple levels:

Yoga helps reveal how the ego creates stories and strategies for self-preservation that generate fear of loss.

Through practice, we can observe our fears without being controlled by them and, by understanding the origins and nature of fear, learn how to rise above it.

Fear has its place; it can be a a signal of danger and a powerful motivator.

Fear can also make it hard to navigate uncertainty, think clearly in dangerous situations, or even recognize the difference between a real threat and the illusion of danger.

Yoga doesn't suggest that our fears are unfounded nor does it promise to eliminate fear entirely; it offers us ways to understand it, respond to it wisely, and transcend its control over us.

This workshop is for yoga teachers and practitioners who want to learn how traditional yoga wisdom guides us toward an empowered state of fearlessness.

You'll learn:

  • What yoga wisdom says about the origins and nature of fear
  • Practices that can help alleviate fear
  • How to zoom out and see the big picture of world events in order to put and them in perspective
  • How to think through your fears to gain a deeper understanding of them
  • Why understanding your true nature is the key to becoming fearless

Fearlessness is a key characteristic of a liberated yogi. I hope you'll join me for this look at how yoga wisdom guides us along the path to conquering our fears and keeping our balance in a topsy-turvy world.

Greetings Reader, I don’t remember exactly when I first read Frank Herbert’s epic science fiction novel Dune — mid 70’s or early 80’s? For a couple of weeks it was my constant companion on the New York City subway system. I clearly remember thinking that it would be impossible to make a convincing movie out of it, given the limited special effects capabilities of the time. Early attempts to do so proved me right (IMNSHO). It’s possible now, of course, but If you haven’t seen either of the...

Greetings Reader, Anger got the better of me the other day. I was angry at everyone and everything connected to the murder of Renee Nicole Good. I’m betting you’re feeling it, too. Then I saw a post about Ms Good’s murder. It was well-intentioned, but timid. I thought the person who posted it — who I know beyond the confines of social media — had a moral responsibility to make a stronger statement. I posted a comment to that effect. A reply to my comment soon followed, which prompted another...

Greetings Reader - The 2026 edition of our free monthly series, Community Conversations, kicks off next week. This month, we're going to explore the question of how to reconcile the idea of surrender to "divine will" with the moral imperative to participate in the project of making the world a better place.According to yoga philosophy, everything happens for a reason; there is a cause to every effect. However, the precise cause of any given effect can be hard to ascertain. Yoga philosophy...
