In this episode of The Yoga Therapy Hour, host Amy engages in a captivating conversation with Barrie Risman, a long-time yoga teacher deeply rooted in the Iyengar and Anusara traditions. Barrie's expertise and insights have been recognized in esteemed publications such as Yoga Journal, Yoga International, and Elephant Journal. Together, they delve into the profound notion that our yoga practice extends beyond mere structural alignment, encompassing the intricate balance of our body, mind, and spirit through an elemental approach.
Barrie introduces the idea that as we attain a harmonious equilibrium within ourselves, we gain clarity about our core values, our purpose in the world, and our true selves. With time, a remarkable shift occurs, propelling us to transcend our individual identity and realize our profound connection to the web of life, the cycles of nature, and the vast intelligence permeating the universe. Ultimately, we come to understand that we are not separate entities but an integral part of Mother Nature herself.
