In this episode, we talk with Alex Pfeiffer, owner of Main Street Yoga Center on the east side of Madison, Wisconsin: mainstreetyogacenter.org

We cover a lot of ground including: cultural progression and hypernovel environments, seeking meaning in life, embracing physical reality, experiencing pain without suffering, the inconvenience and benefit of peak states, ashram life, teaching for the nervous system, focusing on the inner body, and more. Alex has an extensive depth of knowledge about yoga, authentic relating and embodied living. He talks about bringing yoga into the 21st Century at his new studio: making yoga accessible to everyone, while also providing opportunities to go deeper.

Main Street Yoga Center is rolling into the grand opening in November, which means for a short time, enjoy a discounted membership to try out different classes and teachers. (They're all outstanding.) Growing Beyond listeners enjoy a further discount. Go to mainstreetyogacenter.org and enter growing-beyond at checkout.

Look for Season 2 of Growing Beyond in September. We will have more conversations about diving deep, straddling worlds, self-awareness, authentic relating, taking big chances, thinking big thoughts, how we come together and more.

Humans are not machines, yet we often view ourselves through a lens that emphasizes improvement, achievement, and perfection as the ultimate goals, rather than accepting and knowing ourselves for who we are at any given moment. We aim rather than observe, we strive rather than notice. This chapter talks about why knowing yourself and observing yourself is important. Permission was granted by the author Jason Digges to read this amazing book: Conflict=Energy.
