Talk: Pratyahara - The World Opens To Us

from Mysore Yoga Paris – Closer Together · host Kia Naddermier & Yotam Agam

This recording is a talk given before one of our Pranayama classes in our Borderless Online Shala 2020. Pranayama, the Yogic breathing practices is the 4th of Patanjali´s 8 limbs of Yoga. It is said to lead the practitioner towards Pratyahara the 5th limb. Pratyahara is commonly translated as ”sense withdrawal”. However, I find this translation quite problematic. Can you really withdraw your senses?In a time of confinement, distancing and separation I think it is especially interesting to look at the deeper meaning of a concept that seems to ask the yogi to do just that: withdraw from the world.Thank you for listening.With love & devotionx Kia & YotamLinktr.ee offers a comprehensive list of resources for raising awareness, driving donations and sharing information in support of justice and equality.For more info about Kia´s International Workshop Schedule, Trainings, Retreats and Global Sangha, please visit: http://mysoreyogaparis.comInstagram: mysoreyogaparisFor more free resources please sign up to our newsletter: https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/newsletter-sign-upMore music by Yotam can be found at: https://www.yotamagam.com/music

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
