Imagine trying to paint a masterpiece without a canvas, or having a canvas with no paint. Both are essential. This ancient wisdom provides a profound framework for understanding our internal landscape.
this talk is going into how to find balance in all aspects of our lives.
Yogaś citta-vritti-nirodhaḥ.
Patanjali, the sage who compiled the Yoga Sutras 2,000 years ago, knew exactly why. He didn't see your struggle as a lack of "willpower." He saw it as a structural issue of the human mind. He broke it down into three specific layers that act like gravity, pulling us back to our old selves: the Vrittis, the Kleshas, and the Vikshepas.
Asana practice isn’t just yoga, we all are doing yoga without realizing it!
Svadhyaya—study of self .
in today’s context!
We are going to look at why your brain treats success like a "Save Button" for learning, and why focusing on failure often just trains you to be anxious. We’ll look at the story of a monk who almost let two mistakes ruin a masterpiece.
Every Sunday, we meet here to explore how ancient wisdom can solve our modern dilemmas. After going through a deep and somewhat heavy topic last week, I had a hard time coming up with a topic to speak about, so I asked my teenage daughter to help me.
Today, we are taking a deep breath and stepping into a topic that touches every family dinner table, every boardroom, and frankly, every heart.
We are talking about the Generational Gap.
Usually, on this show, we talk about how to live. We talk about Asana, breathing, and the ethics of living a good life. But today, we are going to talk about the only thing that is guaranteed in life. We are going to talk about the act of leaving it.
This week, we mark the holiday of Thanksgiving. It is a complex holiday—one of history and myth, of feasting and family. But beneath the turkey and the travel plans, there lies a profound spiritual technology. A technology that the ancient Yogis knew about, and one that modern neuroscience is finally beginning to understand.
That technology is Gratitude.
A yogic approach to healing from injuries
From the begging to now, how yoga has been shaped and presented to the world via various notable teachers.
Our day to day can be our yoga practice- perfecting the life posture!
Collective power of community for mental health and spiritual
growth
Today, we’re embarking on a journey to unlock the transformative power of Mindful Movement. We often compartmentalize mindfulness—it’s something we do for 15 minutes on the cushion or an hour on the yoga mat. But what about the other 23 hours? What if every single action—from sprinting to a meeting to stirring a pot of soup—could be a profound practice in presence?
Today, we are diving deep into a shared modern dilemma: the struggle against sitting. Our bodies are marvels of motion, yet we confine them for hours, hunched over a desk or tilted toward a screen. This sedentary reality creates a predictable suite of ailments: "tech neck," tight hips, low back compression, and perpetual stiffness.
Today's talk is about Prana, the invisible life force, and the subtle body architecture of Nadis and Chakras. Most importantly, we'll see why this ancient wisdom is the key to unlocking true vitality in your fast-paced life.talk about Prana, the invisible life force, and the subtle body architecture of Nadis and Chakras.

How yoga is different than any other forms of exercise and its holistic in nature.
Understanding sleep, importance and the power of YogNidra.
We’re going to begin a journey inward, peeling back the layers to discover who we truly are. Today, we're talking about something called the koshas. It's a word you might have heard in a yoga class, but what does it really mean? The koshas are a concept from Vedantic philosophy, an ancient tradition from India that dates back thousands of years. Koshas are Sheaths or Layers.
Closing on the conversation with Adarsh on partner of Abhayasa (Practice) - VAIRAGYA ( non- attachment)
Today we are in conversation with him once more exploring the concept of abhayasa.
