When to Press & When to Pull Back

After 30 years of trying to be a “very good yogi” (legs behind the head, vows, turban, fasting), Tiaga Prem has a confession: none of it fixed him. In this first episode back, he asks what yoga really is. It might be a workout, the perfect pose for Instagram, or a way to connect with God. He looks at how we get stuck when we take one part of ourselves for the whole thing: the body, the personality, or even the spiritual high.The practice doesn’t make us into someone else. It gives us a little space to see ourselves honestly: our anger, our addictions, our need to be loved. Then we can hold all of it more lightly. Along the way Tiaga talks about sobriety, his teacher Sri Dharma Mittra, and the thin line between depression and comedy. He also explains why laughing with good friends may teach us more than any advanced posture.Your life is your practice. Your kids, your relationships, the diner booth and the basketball game are your path, not distractions from it.New episodes every Friday.
