Episode description

My wife, Wendy Newton and I just finished leading teacher training courses. We compare notes on how one learns and applies training to find real yoga.

We discuss the Yoga Sutras description of the three components of practice:

  • Tapas (purification and discipline)
  • Svadyaya (Self-study)
  • Ishvara pranidhana (surrender to the ways of Nature)

As a special treat, Mica makes a guest appearance, barking her comments about finding your teacher!

I'm leading a training at ISHTA Yoga in Manhattan starting in September. You can use the code TTFALL2017 for a discount. See more at ISHTAYoga.com
