There’s a BIG problem in the way most courses teach the 8 Limbs of Yoga. In this article we explain what’s missing and why it is so critical in you getting the complete picture about what the 8 limbs of yoga are, and what their true purpose is.

We also include a link to our 3 day immersive course on the history and philosophy of classical yoga and Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras.

In this blog article we investigate the causes of fear and why it is such a destructive emotion. We look at fear through the lens of evolutionary biology, yoga, Buddhism, existentialism, and more to see just how pervasive the emotion of fear can be in our lives, even when intentions are good.

We then do some thought experiments to see what it is we can do if we are feeling fearful; and finish with a practical exercise that you can do anywhere, any time.

"Life hacks" jump off our screens at us. "Do this!" they scream, and you will up-level to your best life. But do they unlock your potential? Or are they just a sugar rush that ends in an inevitable crash? In this blog article we discuss the potential benefits (and harm) of life hacks, and what alternative approached we could take to reach our potential.

In this article we share some content from the course manual we provide students that attend Energy & The Yogic Body. The course manual excerpt explains the history and context behind the development of Classical Yoga theory and practice; and then the innovations that occurred after this via Hatha Yoga - the development of the Yogic Body, and what that meant for how yoga was practiced. When then see how these key innovations have influence much of modern yoga in the west, and ask, “Is yoga today, really yoga?”

In this article we learn about Yin Yoga - what the practice is and aims to achieve; and what ideas and concepts influenced its development. We especially focus on the famous Yin-Yang symbol, called the taijitu, and how to interpret its profound meaning to live a more balanced and harmonious existence.

This blog article explores the question, “What is Yoga?” and why an understanding of how ancient yogis envisaged the creation of the universe is critical to understanding this. To help bring this vision alive we particularly look at the relationship between our true Self, “The Seer” and Primordial Nature; and how the Seer activates the “guṇas” of Primordial Nature to kickstart the whole process of creation / experience; which in turn brings about the need for a process (Yoga) to turn the Self away from experience of nature and back to eternal bliss.

A handy guide on how to choose the yoga course that’s right for you.
