Living Open | Modern Magick and Spirituality for Mystics and Seekers

Why are we judging our asana as if our asana is the reflection of our yoga practice? In our modern, capitalist, patriarchal society we’re always supposed to be striving, never satisfied, and our yoga practice can be a revolution in that way— of practicing presence, of gratitude for where you are, of holding the space for all aspects of your yoga practice to be exactly where they are. This episode explores why allowing your yoga practice to change, grow, and evolve as you do is so important.
