Sweet beloveds, I am so happy we are here together today. This episode is all about dropping deeper into your own practice. As I mentioned in episode 146 of Samadhi Rush, this is my season for practice (abhyasa, in yoga-talk), and here I talk about ways to create space for deepening your own practice. I am so glad you are here.
I would love for this to be a conversation. A space for your voice. What is inspiring you right now? What would you like to learn? Please leave a voice mail on my google voice line or via speakpipe and I will create content that matters to you.
Also, I’m finishing up my special gift for donors and reviewers! It is a linotype print of the muladhara chakra! (I’ll post some pics on Instagram later.) Make sure to email me your mailing address if you donate or review us in iTunes. Thank you!!

My prescription for finding the subtle in your yoga practice feels like a spiral, but I will list it out for clarity:
- Create an intention & write it down.
- Commit to daily practice.
- Follow your fascination.
- Practice yoga in ACTION through the yoga of relationship and self-study.
- Study the texts.
- Hold on to let go. Yoga Sutra 1.12.
