July 2024 | Sojourn
In this newsletter, originally published in July 2024, I talk about my personal realisations around the idea of viveka (clear-seeing) as detailed in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and how this is contrasted by the more dynamic approach to engaging with our senses detailed within the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra. I’ve also included a free playlist and a free yoga class from my YouTube channel.
May 2024 | Anchor
In this newsletter, originally published in May 2024, I discuss the overlap between how Patanjali describes yoga’s third of eight limbs, asana, within the Yoga Sutras and how this relates to the more modern study of somatic movement. I’ve also included a free playlist, a free yoga class from my YouTube channel, as well as a reading recommendation related to this topic.
April 2024 | Yield
In this newsletter, originally published in April 2024, I look at the niyamas (the inner observances) as described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. I’ve also included a free playlist, a free yoga class from my YouTube channel, as well as a reading recommendation related to this topic.
March 2024 | Salve
In this newsletter, originally published in March 2024, I take a closer look at the yamas, which are often thought of as the moral code prescribed to dedicated yogis by Patanjali’sYoga Sutras. I’ve also included a free playlist, a free yoga class from my YouTube channel, as well as a reading recommendation related to this topic.
February 2024 | Imprint
In this newsletter, originally published in February 2024, I discuss how we as individuals can create a positive impact within the wider world by focusing our attention on small, daily actions within our immediate environment. This sits within the context of the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali and their eventual goal of reaching samadhi (enlightenment). I’ve also included a free playlist, a free yoga class from my YouTube channel, as well as a reading recommendation related to this topic.
September 2023 | Flux
In this newsletter, originally published in September 2023, I talk about how ‘moving from our skeleton’ rather than relying solely on our muscle tissue might allow our movement practice to flourish. I discuss this within the context of both Qi Gong and Somatic movement. I’ve also included a free playlist and YouTube video that elaborates on these ideas.
