In every Mysore room, behind every counted vinyasa, and underneath every cue to āfold forward,ā thereās an unspoken question humming through the breath and bodies: How do we honor the roots of yoga while making it relevant and accessible in todayās world? This isnāt just a philosophical musing for teachers and practitioners alike ā itās a daily decision. Every adjustment, every modification (or refusal to give one), every moment of silence or explanation is a subtle vote: for the past, the present, and the future of yoga. We live in a time where preserving sacred tradition and dismantling oppressive systems are happening simultaneously ā sometimes uncomfortably so. That tension is real, and if youāre feeling it, youāre not alone. The Value of Tradition Letās start…
āCreating safe spaces isnāt about perfection ā itās about consistent commitment to embodying the respect we claim to value.ā Introduction: The Sacred Vulnerability of Practice Every time someone steps on a yoga mat, they bring their entire being with them ā heart, body, history, hope. And in the world of Ashtanga Yoga, with its intense repetition and often intimate shala environments, this vulnerability is amplified. But letās be honest ā āsafe spaceā is one of those buzzwords that can sound fabulous on a poster but fall flat on the floor next to your sweaty Manduka. The truth? Safety isnāt a marketing slogan. Itās a living, breathing system. Creating truly safe practice spaces requires more than good vibes and ānamasteā energy. It calls for embodied respect,…
I couldn’t have been more frustrated. More people in India have mobile phones than running water– and yet, here we were stopped in front of Sandesh the Prince — another palace cum hotel, not a one of us with an address or telephone number for Sandhya’s. Did I mention that this was a group of people who, in general, didn’t much care for groups of people? Figuratively and literally, we’d been down this road before. A week prior, we had ended up at Sandesh, our driver having misheard our request for Sandhya’s. This time, we had made SURE that the driver knew where we were going, asking repeatedly and determinedly if he knew that we meant the yellow house near the park. You know, the…
The Art of Saying It So They Actually Feel It If you’ve ever stood in front of a room full of yogis and said something like āengage your core,ā only to be met with blank stares or wildly different interpretations (someone holds their breath, another tenses their shoulders, and one person just clenches their jaw), then congratulations ā you’re a yoga teacher. Welcome to the high-wire act that is teaching alignment and body awareness: one part science, one part poetry, and one part trying not to scream, āNo, not like that!ā Because hereās the truth: precise, embodied instruction isnāt just about keeping students from face-planting in bakasana. Itās about helping them access their own felt sense of the pose ā safely, effectively, and (if weāre…
What Is a Collider? In systems thinking, a collider is a variable that sits at the convergence point of two or more independent causal pathways. Unlike a mediator (which transmits influence from one variable to another) or a confounder (which influences multiple variables), a collider is influenced by multiple independent sourcesāand this seemingly simple distinction creates profound complications in how we understand cause and effect. The mathematical structure looks deceptively simple:Variable X ā Collider Z ā Variable Y Two independent causes (X and Y) both flow into a common effect (Z). But hereās where it gets interesting: when we condition on the colliderāwhen we only examine cases where Z occurredāwe create an artificial correlation between X and Y that doesnāt exist in the broader system….
