What happens when ancient yogic wisdom meets modern embodiment? 🤔One of my students recently asked how Sutra 1.15’s focus on non-attachment aligns with Somatic Yoga’s emphasis on pleasure and healing. This episode unpacks that question with heart, humor, and a whole lot of nuance.
We’ll explore:
🔹 Whether pleasure is a distraction—or a doorway to healing
🔹 What Patanjali really meant by non-attachment
🔹 How to reconcile classical teachings with modern self-care
If you’ve ever wondered whether embracing joy is spiritual enough, this one’s for you.
