Ep 223 Keen on Yoga Podcast - Ian Whicher

Ian Whicher shares his insights on the Yoga Sutras, emphasizing the importance of self-study, compassion, and the nature of the mind. He challenges traditional interpretations of chitta vritti nirodha, presenting it as a means of liberation rather than mere cessation. The discussion explores the interplay between Purusha and Prakriti, the role of ego, and the responsibilities of yoga practitioners in the world. Whicher's unique perspective encourages a deeper understanding of yoga as a path to authentic living and engagement with life.
