Dismantling Dogma in Ashtanga Yoga By Examining Tradition: Embracing Evolution and Individual Paths
This article explores the nuanced meanings of "traditional" in Ashtanga Yoga. It critically examines how this term, often associated with rigidity, contradicts the dynamic nature of Ashtanga as a living tradition. The article addresses the balance between traditional and modern approaches in practice rooms and how rigid interpretations can stifle the evolution of the practice. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing Ashtanga Yoga as adaptable and inclusive, advocating for a practice that respects lineage while acknowledging its continual evolution.

I completely reject the idea that I am broken or
disordered because the DSM pathologized the
way my brain works because it doesn't
conveniently fit into capitalistic and
neuronormative expectations.
Is adhd disabling? Of course, and for some
more than others. I'm not trying to take that
away.
But I wholeheartedly believe the problem is
that we expect every human to function, think
& act a certain way rather than getting curious
about how to build a world that supports
neurodiversity.

New Post Alert!
Confronting the farce of conscious consumerism, this week's dharma talk became a journey into stark reality. As an Ashtanga Yoga teacher, I grappled with the hypocrisy of our consumption patterns. From the Washington Postβs strike to Kristen Krashβs @suenodevida_ecu radical shift in Ecuador, these contrasting scenarios reveal the deep chasm between minor lifestyle changes and true liberation from consumerism. Acknowledging Carl Jungβs wisdom, we explore the unavoidable pain inherent in our societal system. This article delves into making conscious, albeit limited, choices while fostering compassion for our constraints. It's a candid exploration of the struggle to find balance in an imperfect world.

Part of the heart of anarchy is, dare to go against the
grain of the conventional ways of thinking about our
realities. Anarchists have always gone against the grain,
and that's been a place of hope.
