Yoga

Treatment

Many of us chronic illness warriors can’t imagine our wellness routines without yoga. (And not just because the final pose is often savasana, aka a pose where you lie on the floor and there’s absolutely no shame if you happen to take a quick nap). For as popular as yoga is, people gravitate to it for all different reasons. Some see it as a form of exercise and way to strengthen their body, while others hit the mat for the dual mind-body bennies. An ancient practice rooted in India, yoga has lots of modern-day offshoots, from power to Bikram to—we're 100% not making this up—goat, naked, and laughing yoga. These practices typically include some combo of physical postures (aka asanas), breathing exercises, and meditation. Thanks to the many different approaches, it’s super easy to find a type of yoga that fits your style and needs. Whether you want to sweat it out in a heated room for 90 minutes, connect with your spiritual side and find relaxation, or just focus on the moves (and awesome music, if you're lucky), yoga’s worth a try.

Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic: 4th Edition

Everyday, millions of people roll out their yoga mats or sit on their meditation cushions in an effort to quiet the mind and heal the body. Some practice Iyengar yoga, while others practice vinyasa or restorative yoga—almost all who practice yoga have touched something deep within themselves and had their lives transformed by this ancient practice. In Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic, Darren Main offers a fresh, down-to-earth approach to the time-tested practice and philosophy of yoga. He shows us the way to apply the ancient wisdom of India to every aspect of life. From work and relationships, to death and dying—allowing even our busiest days to become powerful and mystical adventures, filled with all the wonder and magic that was once reserved for those living as monks and nuns. This is not a book about perfecting yoga asanas or pranayama breathing techniques. It is a book about changing the way we see the world—transforming every experience and relationship into a yoga practice unto itself. Since teachers like Swami Vivakananda and Paramahansa Yogananda brought yoga to the West, yoga students and teachers alike have sought to integrate the practice and philosophy of yoga into modern life. Find out why this best-selling yoga book has been used in yoga teacher training programs the world over and has become a modern spiritual classic.

The Why Factor: Yoga

Yoga is an ancient practice that includes meditation, exercise and spirituality. It’s said to date back thousands of years and originate in the east. But why do millions of us do it every day and how has it become so popular over time? There is controversy about different types of yoga and whether they ring true to the original purpose of the practice. So when we do yoga, are we doing it for the right reasons? Valley Fontaine hears from the director of a 98-year-old yoga institute in India, a religious studies professor in the US, an instructor who teaches yoga for you and your dog, founders of a yoga festival in the UK, and the 2016 women’s yoga champion.

Broken Brain with Dhru Purohit: How Yoga Changes the Brain and Can Transform Your Life with Eddie Stern

Yoga, in its original form, was created as a science for liberation. In modern times, it is used by many for improving physical and mental health, helping us become more productive at work, more caring in relationships, and more responsible contributors to society and inhabitants of this planet. If yoga does accomplish all that—and many practitioners have experienced this to be true in their own lives—how exactly does yoga do it? How does yoga work? On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru, talks to Eddie Stern, a yoga teacher, author, and lecturer based in Brooklyn, New York. He is known for his multidisciplinary approach to furthering education and access to yoga, as well as his teaching expertise in Ashtanga Yoga. He most recently created The Breathing App, which guides the user in a paced breathing exercise that balances the nervous system, improves sleep, and reduces stress and anxiety. His book, One Simple Thing: A New Look at the Science of Yoga and How It Can Transform Your Life was just released. In this episode, Dhru and Eddie talk about what makes yoga such an effective practice from a neurophysiological perspective, and how transcendence is wired into our biology. They talk about the mechanics beneath the surface of our bodies and how we can consciously use yogic practices to direct and change our lives in positive ways. They also discuss how what we do—from postures to meditation, from breathing techniques to chanting and to ethical practices—affects who we become, and how a steady routine of activities and attitudes can transform our bodies, our brain functions, our emotions, and our experience of life. In this episode, we dive into: -Why Eddie left his job and went to India to study yoga (3:31) -How Eddie met his yoga teacher and the lessons he learned (11:23) -Scientific studies to support the benefits of yoga (17:17) -What yoga is doing on a neurophysiological level (22:35) -The Polyvagal Theory and how the vagus nerve affects our brain chemistry (23:28) -Neural exercises and how they promote self-regulation, resilience, and social connectedness (29:54) -The purpose of yoga (44:56) -The connection between consciousness and our biology (62:51) -The Yoga and Science Conference (79:28) -The Breathing App and resonance breathing (86:34) -Learn more about Eddie and his work (96:12)

The Life Stylist: Kundalini Rising: Luke Live At Rama Venice

You deserve unconditional love – and you deserve to love unconditionally. As human beings, we crave this from the moment we’re born, but our minds and our domestic conditioning tend to hold us back. The good news? We’re also born with everything we need to achieve it. So, today, I invite you to join me in a powerfully transformative workshop, recorded live from the RA MA Institute in Venice, on how to use the power of mantra, meditation, pranayam (breath), Kundalini yoga, and intention to catalyze your personal growth and expansion. In practicing these ancient techniques, you will learn how to create and widen the critical gap of separation between the egoic instincts and the calculating, negatively biased mind; you will learn how to access your true soul identity hidden behind the false self and how to live a life motivated by the power of unconditional love. So, are you ready to break free of the judgemental mind to find your soul power? Topics Discussed In This Episode: Identifying the thoughts and behaviors that block us from the life we crave and deserve Using intention to overcome the resentment, fear, or shame that’s blocking you from experiencing love The quantum physics of perception, reality, and spirituality Stillness: the rare but valuable experience of sitting with presence The erroneous belief that our body = our self You don’t need to take your animal self so seriously – and you also don’t need to fight with it Suffering in the self-created delusion that life is out to get you How far we can go in one human lifetime, with the right tools Trying to change our experience using the wrong power source The many, many different paths to spiritual growth The freeing experience that there’s something greater It’s brave to access emotion There’s transformation in applying universal truths
