What It Really Means to “Practice” The Yoga Sutras

Featured Practice, Yoga Sutras

In this episode of the Integral Yoga Podcast, Avi Gordon (director of the Integral Yoga Teachers Association) is in conversation with Carroll Ann (Prashanti) Friedmann. She shares her personal journey with the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the sankalpa (vow or intention) she took to really allow the sutras to develop into a deeply lived practice. Prashanti also shares the story behind her new book Practicing the Yoga Sutras, which stemmed from a decade-long journey of chanting and studying the sutras. Friedmann recounts her initial inspiration in India, where she was taught the art of chanting. Watch the podcast here or wherever you listen to and watch podcasts.
