Yogasūtra 1.2: yogaḥ citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ
Continuing the journey as we look at yoga through the lens of Yoga Sutra 1.2, which emphasizes mental stillness over physical postures. You'll discover the true essence of yoga, exploring the meanings of "chitta" (knowledge) and "virti" (modifications), and learn why traditional practices prioritize inner calm over outward exercise. This episode challenges you to shift your focus from asanas to achieving a serene and quiet mind, redefining what it means to practice yoga authentically.
"Yoga is attained when the ceasing of modified consciousness happens."
In the second part of our discussion, we continue the dive into self-discovery and mindfulness through yoga, sharing insights on how to live more intentionally. We reflect on the power of self-awareness and the significance of recognizing our role in life's conflicts. We illustrate how slowing down can lead to deeper introspection and transformative changes. By modifying thought patterns and embracing mindfulness, we guide you towards making life choices that resonate with your true self, encouraging a harmonious and authentic way of living. Tune in for a compelling exploration of both yoga and life, designed to inspire and transform your approach to both.
