042: Consciousness, Prana, and the Subtle Body: How Yoga Works w/ Edward Sczudlo

Welcome to this conversation on the energetics and consciousness of yoga! What’s the subtle body got to do with it??

I’m so excited to share this conversation with my dear friend Edward Sczudlo. A deep practitioner of yoga and Tibetan buddhism for over 20 years, Edward has completely transformed the way I see yoga by introducing me to the subtle body and the energetic dimensions of the practice.

Before I started practicing yoga with Edward, I had no idea why I was doing the twists, backbends, and other yogic postures I had been practicing for so many years! Edward is so kind-hearted and generous with his transmission and I’m honored to have him on my podcast. 

In this episode, we cover:

• The role of the subtle body in yoga 
• The innate clarity of the mind, and how to access it
• Using an awareness of past and future lives to focus our practice 
• What it means to be a spiritual warrior 
• Trusting the wisdom of the heart 
• Reality as a projection
