This understanding comes, largely, from the commercialization of Yoga in the United States as a fitness routine, which can no...

How do we continue, and what, if anything, can we do to support ourselves and each other as we walk the more difficult paths on the journey of life? In this episode of The Way To Go, we look at suffering from a variety of angles and try to tease out the valu...

The Universal Law - What is Karma? Pt.1

In this episode, our hosts Steven Ross and Matthew Choate dive into the layered topic of karma! In the West we usually refer to karma as a punitive force, so if something goes wrong we might be inclined to blame it on "bad karma."
