So inspiring ! The flow of this mind and ideas coming up is like a fresh wide river after a road trip on a polluted highway ! Thanks to share it Greg !
Thank you so much for this video. It is so true that through social media our view on what it means to practice yoga get's messed up. Beautiful shapes do not reflect the internal journey one goes through by a consistent, daily partice.
A very autherntic teacher with a great energy. Am I the only one who gets a bad vibe from the jivamukti yoga people? I don't know why, but I feel somethjng isn't right
I don't know about Europe, but I've been to many Yoga classes here in the USA. The teachers don't dare to get deep into Yoga spirituality for fear of offending their Christian students!!! Besides, the students come mainly to improve their physical status/condition; they do not come for learning more of Hinduism/Yoga. The fact is, Yoga is the heart of Hinduism. Just type in "Christianity and yoga" in the TH-cam search engine and you'll find videos which rant about how "Un-Christian" Yoga is! Which is why teachers want to be very cautious. Even chanting "OM" is frowned upon by Christians. I once told a Christian that the word means the same as "Amen" and she was so relieved! :) Which was a white lie, really, as "Amen" is just a word of assertion/acceptance/affirmation. In Hebrew where it originated, it is "Ameen" which means verily, or so be it. Christians say Amen, and Muslims, Ameen. (Islam is a totally twisted version of the Torah and the Gospels but that's another story altogether; in Pakistan you can get flogged or imprisoned for doing Yoga) Anyhow, "Hinduism" is a bad word for these Christians. Aside from ridiculing our non-existent 330 million Gods and our Caste system, they are totally ignorant about Hinduism.
Not sure it's true about getting flogged for doijg yoga in Pakistan! You know there are churches, hindu temples and yoga studios there. The media only gives you a one dimensional view of the country
I couldn't agree more. Yoga is VERY watered down here. You could literally practice at a studiohere for years and stil not really know much about the background and authenticity. We very much tailor it to suit the people provide to which isnt good
Hi Gregor, do you have any insights on the current covid situation that you would be willing to share? What does the yoga world make of all this? Thanks

very good and important ideas about meaning of yoga, it is important to speak about yoga like G.M.
