Alan Watts - the goal of Yoga. PT I

Alan Watts teaches that Yoga is not just the art of stilling the mind. It is a state where you are completely absorbed. Yoga means that the mind is not going in vicious circles. Although many believe that Yoga is the highest attainment of the human mind, Alan Watts disagrees with this perspective.
To Alan Watts, the goal of Yoga is equanimity. Yoga is awarness. Yoga is the art of stilling the mind. And a practice where one is ideally expected to be a conscious human being before ever starting out on the path of Yoga. There are certain things one ought to know before engaging on this path. For example, mastering the essential disciplines of your culture, being able to distinguish between good and bad etc.
Speaker: Alan Watts (1915 - 1973)
A British philosopher, writer, and speaker - Alan Watts was best known as an interpreter and popularizer of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience.

A little bit about me:
Biafran born and raised, I left Africa at the age of 30 to pursue my dream of studying and living in Europe. My life, however, took an unconventional turn when I arrived. Mine is the tale of one woman’s voyage through the grit to resilience and peace. Gleaning from my colorful life experiences, I inspire you to be courageous and be the mighty heart that overcomes every adversity.
Having persevered through adverse conditions in many areas of my life, and integrated my own traumatic experiences, today I inspire people to transcend their personal stories in order to discover their mighty hearts. I focus on enabling people to change their narrative about suffering and fall in love with challenges. With my Joy o'clock offerings (calendly.com/yourpurity?month..., I serve people who feel overwhelmed through my active and non-judgmental listening service.
Following my groundbreaking story on the TED Stage in 2019 - • Courage to be imperfec... - I continue to share my transformative messages with people from different cultures. Though a biomedical scientist by education, I consider myself a jolly-good fellow by providence, because of my innate tendency to bring joy to the people around me.
Aside living in Germany, I am an inspirational speaker, author and jolly-good fellow.
