Amy Landry - "Teachings, Traditions, and Practice"

Amy Landry, author of The Ocean of Yoga, talks with J about honoring the history, philosophies, and purpose behind yogic inquiry. They discuss the impulse towards deeper study, grasping historical context and ancient origins, discerning the vedas, asceticism and tantra, classical Hatha Yoga, energy bodies and subtle anatomy, pranayama and mind control, inaccurate claims and systematization, alignment of values, devotion and God, nature and deities, knowing what we are doing and why, and confidently trusting in a chosen direction.
