Ep. 34 What is Feminine Form Yoga?

I started a conversation last year with the community about yoga and the rise of the feminine in the world. This episode is part of a larger series and conversation I want to have with you about what yoga is, what Shakti is and what the concept of “the feminine” is in relation to a yoga practice. You might want to start with Ep. 23 Why Your Yoga Practice May Need To Die before diving into this one.

In this episode I discuss:

~A reading from Wild Mercy by Mirabai Starr

~What is the Rising Feminine actually?

~Student LOVE!

~The longing in your heart to know who you are

~Yoga as an individual practice

~The medicine to an over bloated masculine

~Why we need to understand our primal biomechanics/nervous system

~That point just before death

~Yogic monks vs the feminine

~The control issue
