Ep 9 | Personal Alignment With Greater Grace

In this episode we speak about Grace, family ties, healthy individuation and commitment phobia. Bhavani gives her perspective about the work we do as practitioners of yoga to align our bodies through asana as well as the necessary work we each must engage in in order to get clear in our most intimate relationships. One of the ways to do this is to make distinctions for ourselves about what and how we want to engage in our own healing—what’s ours to do something about in this lifetime and what’s not.

I:4 Vṛtti sārūpyam itaratra At other times, the Seer conforms with the distortions of fragmented consciousness which are like of the night. Later in the interview, Bhavani makes the distinction between “yoga class”—going to class and learning from a teacher, and “yoga practice”—which is what we do on our own.
