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:
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, Did I ever tell you that I used to be a soda pop salesman? It’s true. Back in 1981, I got a job as a sales rep for a very small company with a tiny office in lower Manhattan. Their flagship product was the first all-natural soda pop to hit the health food market. My job was to sell soda pop to independent grocery stores around the city and health food stores around the country. There were only five people working out of that office. Of those five, I was the only man. I was...
Hi Reader, One of the central ideas in the Yoga Sutras is that the root cause of suffering is ignorance of the true nature of the self. According to the Sutras, our true nature is one of eternally joyful existence. What's keeping us from seeing ourselves that way? The Sutras tell us that there are five obstacles, the first and foremost of which is ignorance. When we’re trapped in a state of ignorance, we can’t see our own true nature. What we can see is our material minds and bodies, which...
Greetings Reader, My body has officially arrived at the threshold of old age. It’s a good thing I’m not my body. Don’t get me wrong: I feel fine, physically and mentally. But facts are facts: the time I have left in this body won't be nearly as long as the time I’ve already spent in it. Well, sort of. The body I’m in now isn’t the same one I was in just a few years ago. To say nothing of the one I was in 50 years ago. None of us actually stays in the same body for very long. Human bodies are...
