Episode Synopsis

A great yoga practice isn't just about the poses you can do—it's about creating a harmonious blend that serves your whole being. In this episode, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander guides you through the principles of crafting a balanced asana routine that integrates strength, flexibility, and mindfulness, aligning your physical practice with the deeper philosophy of the Eight Limbs. • Learn how to blend standing poses, seated stretches, backbends, and restorative postures to create a dynamic and holistic routine. • Discover how to tailor your practice to your personal needs, whether for building strength, increasing flexibility, or finding deep relaxation. • Understand how mindful attention to the breath transforms physical movement into a "meditation in motion." • Explore how the discipline and focus cultivated on the mat can ripple out, fostering resilience and compassion in your daily life. • Gain insights into teaching beginners with curiosity and openness, emphasizing self-awareness over perfection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/engaging-with-the-eight-limbs-of-yoga--6741852/support.Stay awake and vibrant with Strong Coffee Company.
