The Yoga Syndicate
by Ellis del Sol & Ellen Johannesen
A very loose and insightful chat on what yoga actually is and perhaps never will be.
Episodes
-
Asceticism- the relation between spiritual pursuit vs. householder life.
Are you a devotee or a "sit down and believe what you watch on TV"? In this funfilled episode we cross the plains of remaining plain and getting on a plane to journey towards a better understanding of the pursuit we have been put on and the goal we are hopefully wanting to attain.
-
Bhakti for new advancers
A short conversation on the historical and rhetorical concept of Love and compassion.
-
Vrittis
Fluctuations and the dissolving of them to best yield a presence in the present that you and others can find pleasant is what we are aiming for. Vrittis are the fluctuations themselves derived from patterns of thought. The thought itself is not a vritti but what instigates or ignites a thought is...
-
THE KOSHAS
Like an onion we are comprised of different layers. The sheath or incasing of our body and thoughts needs to be identified and worked through in order to attain and experience bliss. Doing vs construing and overthinking was an aspect discussed in fine tuning your koshas. The koshas are like...
-
What is real?
Is life experiential or experimental. In fact is it real to begin or end with? This chat brings on the realisation that it is difficult to grasp the grasping of any real clue in reading the map on the ever bumpy roads of reality. Good listening!
-
Happiness
What a concept and even more what a realisation when any darn thing at all can bring you into a state of happiness. In this episode we try to clean out the good of happiness and see what lays behind this feeling and expectation of why life should lend to something pleasant by way of a feeling. We...
-
Dharma
This episode of the Yoga Syndicate became a long conversation about Dharma: a complex concept within Indian culture. We touched upon finding your true north and keeping it real, but not as real as the realization that real laws and forces are in effec and can affect you at all times! I.e, true...
-
Who am I?
Asking the question that has no answer is quite redundant to say the least. An entertaining back and forth on the importance or lack there of, asking let alone actually, knowing... who you are. The meaning of what you experience in ever changing thoughts and environments make who you are very...
-
Expectations
How could we possibly expect to not have any expectations? Ellen and I dabble on the subject and wind down many a road in this ever so baffling concept of what is too little - too much in the expectation side of things in the realm of our everyday lives.
-
What is a Guru?
In this discussion we both entertain and seek out a plethora of understanding and definition in what in fact is a Guru. You will be surprised to discover that this Guru, both in you and in others will be an essential key in opeing the vast door in the hallway of your heart and mind.
-
Karma
You are what you everything. And everything dictates what and who you are. Karma is not an easy thing to grasp or manage. Maybe after this episode, you will be enlightened with a little more understanding of where you come from and where things are headed.

Viveka - Discriminating what is BS and what is not
How to discriminate? Not easily done, but essential in detecting, projecting and experiencing the auspices and advantages this mind can provide. Without good distinguishing in life we render all thought as borderless. With a good framework in the mind we are able to organise our thought in a way…

LOVE - What it is.
Love what it is and love in retrospect. Loving love or at least trying to understand if it is necessary in the first or second place at all. In this episode we bounce back and forth with a ball of love in our backyard and traditions to both on a macro and micro level, investigate love and all…

Communication
Communicating is necessary in one form or another, even if that means not opening your mouth or ears. In this episode, we shed a light on communication from an array of verbal, technological, demographic and historical perspectives. Enjoy!

Asteya
Asteya is the third Yama - restraint and means non-stealing. Basically in accord to not stealing the precious gift of life, time, energy from yourself and others. By grasping and understanding Asteya even more, you will identify with how to sharpen the knife that carves a more wholistic and…

Satya
Satya, the second yama - restraint represents and means TRUTH. Living life and avoiding tendencies to use this truth in an abusive way. It does not refer to truth in the literal true vs. false category, but rather identifying, sustaining & holding a truth either close to you or shed upon and with...
-
Ahimsa
Ahimsa: Ahimsa is the ultimate vow superseding all other concerns in yoga. although it is defined in negative terms as “non- violence”, its application has to be the positive affirmation that all life is precious and worthy of protection. This is not an intellectual exercise but a realization of...
-
What is Suffering?
Suffering: where does suffering come from? As the Buddha saw it, from the neurotic emotions of craving, stupidity, jealousy, aggression and pride -and even deeper, from a cherishing and protecting of a sense of “self.” Since we are nothing but an ever changing process, any attempt to please or...
