“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.
