If you stopped yourself from sharing about your art, your offers or writing because it looks performative, I have a good news for you, everything is a performance.

In this episode of humans and yoga, we discuss about the cultural context and information overload is affecting the way we are showing up and we are unknowingly created lot of friction by listening to noises.

As a yoga teacher and conscious creators our paths might look different and it is unique, the only way to embody it is to go on a journey to discover it ourselves, having the right audience and connections helps to enjoy the journey.

What aspects of your life would you embrace and sprinkle that on the way you show up if you knew everybody is performing?
