Yoga on the Sofa

Which Yoga level are you on? Or are there no levels in yoga? That are the questions we will answer in this episode, Episode 14, of our Yoga on the Sofa Podcast. 

A lot of people just want to do advanced asanas, advanced practices. But is that wise? Can't we learn as much from a 'beginners’ class' as we can from an advanced class. And doesn't our body need a break from advanced postures every now and then? If you want to know the answers, just listen to this new episode.

A Sangha is a community of like-minded people. Being part of one can help your personal growth as a yogi/yogini. 

It’s the reason we have set up our own (online) Sangha and why we do our Yoga on the Sofa Podcasts. 

Why does it work? Sara Bigatti (http://www.lascimmiayoga) and John Kraijenbrink (http://www.yogaopklompen.nl) will tell you in this episode, number 11, of Yoga on the Sofa. 

Of course, John will be a bit nerdy again and throw in some scientific facts.

Enjoy

In this Podcast, number 10 of Yoga on the Sofa we’re going to work with our Sankalpa, which you have created in Episode 9. If not, listen to that episode first. Sara will guide you through a meditation to make your Sankalpa become reality. 

But before we do that, we're going to look at advertisement. That may seem out of place, but in this episode you'll discover why advertisers love to advertise late at night on television. It has all to do with your mind. 

Advertisers know a little trick to convince you that you need their product, and you can use that same, very effective trick to start living your Sankalpa.

As always, we end this Podcast with the beautiful music of Fred Westra. This time we'll play The Courage to Love for you. (http://www.fredwestra.com) 

Your hosts in this episode are Sara Bigatti (http://www.lascimmiayoga.com) and John Kraijenbrink (http://www.yogaopklompen.nl). 

This Episode wouldn't be possible with the help of our sponsor, ReYoga; the brand for yoga mats and yoga wear that is either made from or is recyclable. (http://www.reyoga.it)

Namaste,

In this Podcast, number 9, of Yoga on the Sofa we look back one more time on the crazy year 2020 and we will look forward to 2021.

2020 is by most seen as a heavy, bad, sad year. Yet, as every year, there are some beautiful lessons to learn as well. In this episode we will at those lessons. Yoga calls this Santosha; looking at the bright side of life. 

We believe everybody is the architect of their own life. You can create the life you want. Yoga has a very powerful tool for that; Sankalpa. We will explain you what a Sankalpa is in this episode and help you create one. In the next episode we will help you to 'program' your Sankalpa in your subconscious mind, so you too can create your own happiness, your own life.

Namaste,

Sara & John

There is no God in yoga. Yoga isn't a religion, yoga is a philosophy, a way of life. You can even call it a science. Yes, yoga believes in the Divine, but what the Divine is, is something you can fill in for yourself. Simply, because the Divine can't be described in words. It's a feeling. In this episode we well tell you more about it.

• The Tea label of the week

The music is of course again from Fred Westra, our favorite yoga music composer.
