Abhyasa & Vairagya: The Balance of Practice and Letting Go
Description
In this rich solo episode, Lauren explores two foundational teachings from the Yoga Sutras: Abhyasa (consistent, sustained effort) and Vairagya (non-attachment or surrender). She shares personal reflections on how all-or-nothing thinking shaped her early adult life and how these twin teachings have helped her find steadiness, balance, and purpose.
Lauren breaks down how to embody both concepts on and off the mat, including:
Why both effort and surrender are essential for growth
The dangers of over-efforting without release
What Abhyasa and Vairagya look like in modern life
How to recognize when you're leaning too far in one direction
Why self-study (svadhyaya) is key to balance
