Part two of the episode from last week! After going deep in the yoga, we find that yoga is so much more than poses, identity, or surface-level spiritual aesthetics. In this episode, I share part two of 10 lessons I have learned from going deep with yoga: let’s talk how yoga helps us feel our humanity, accessing true presence through yoga, respecting yoga and cultural appreciation vs cultural appropriation, why yoga takes time and patience, and the what the Bhagavad Gita’s definition of yoga is. 

Keywords: yoga philosophy, yoga teacher podcast, authentic yoga, yoga spirituality, yoga beyond asana, modern yoga, yoga wisdom, yoga for creators, spiritual growth, conscious living
