We've Forgotten That Yoga Is a Tradition of Stories
from Abundant Yoga Teacher Podcast · host Amy McDonald
This week I'm exploring something that's been quietly bothering me for a long time: somewhere along the way, we've become very good at teaching Yoga poses, but we've forgotten that Yoga has always been a tradition of stories.In this episode, I share why stories have been central to the Yoga tradition for thousands of years, explore the extraordinary roles of Vyasa and Valmiki, and reflect on why the Ramayana and the Puranas continue to speak so powerfully to modern life. If you've ever wondered whether there was something deeper beneath the physical practice of Yoga, this conversation is for you.If you'd like to experience more of these teachings, registrations are now open for my free three-part online series next week, where we'll explore three ancient stories from the Yoga tradition and what they still have to teach women today.Sign up for the free training here: https://mailchi.mp/amymcdonald/storyCheck out all the Returning Retreat details here: https://www.amymcdonald.com.au/returningSupport the show on Patreon.
