Tiaga Prem on Yoga as Awareness, the Teacher in Front of You, and Being in a Frequency of Devotion, Part 1
“Just practice, and the rest will come.”In Part 1 of our talk, Tiaga Prem and I discuss 1) how the call to a spiritual discipline generally begins with the question, “who am I?” (and what that actually means); 2) how awareness and listening are the real goal of yoga; and 3) how to play the game without losing track of what we're doing and why.Stay tuned for Part 2--next week.IF YOU ENJOYED THIS INTERVIEW, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE & DROP ME A RATING.
