MLK Taught Yoga?

article image placeholderUploaded by @futurenmdyogi
And I just thought to myself, wow, that's yoga. That is yoga. And many of you may have the perception that yoga is this physical practice, what we refer to in the yoga tradition as asana, which is the Sanskrit word for the physical postures. And yoga in our Western society is primarily marketed as a physical practice. But the thing that many of you might not know is that yoga is actually a practice and a path of liberation

Hey, this is pretty incredible. I definitely support you in this understanding and realization. My yoga teacher actually taught from a hempstead. He actually it's interesting. My yoga teacher who I got my 203 hundred hour from, he said that he would pick these characters in history to represent a Yamaha and a nyama. He would pair one yama and one nyama together and have pick some one person to represent that. And he did pick MLK to represent a himsa

Hey, Ty. It's so great to meet you here. Thanks for sharing about your yoga teacher and your experience with your teacher training. That's actually a really great way to teach the Yamas and Neamas is to find various figures throughout time that have represented these qualities of the yamas and Neamas. That's fantastic. Yeah. Great to meet other yoga practitioners here on Swell. I don't see a lot of people talking about yoga, so, you know, might as well start, right?

Also, part of the cicadas behind me, you can hear them. I'm in the cook streak in jungle. And the strides, they go a little crazy. Nonetheless, I don't know, maybe it's because I try to spin all conversations slightly philosophical. Maybe that's why I find myself 70% of the time talking about yoga. Nonetheless, it's cool to see a new face here and to also be able to discuss all things yoga
