Learning Real Yoga w/Wendy Newton

My wife, Wendy Newton and I just finished leading teacher training courses. We compare notes on how one learns and applies training to find real yoga.

We discuss the Yoga Sutras description of the three components of practice:

• Tapas (purification and discipline)


• Svadyaya (Self-study)


• Ishvara pranidhana (surrender to the ways of Nature)

As a special treat, Mica makes a guest appearance, barking her comments about finding your teacher!
