    #197: Tristhana Unveiled: Breath, Body, and Mind in Ashtanga Yoga with Kino & Tim

    Join Kino and Tim as they explore Tristhana, the foundational framework of Ashtanga Yoga that unites breath, body, and mind. Whether you are new to the practice or have been teaching for years, this episode offers a deeper look at how these three elements work together to cultivate presence, focus, and transformation.   Breath serves as the bridge between body and mind, asana creates embodiment and healing, and focused awareness sharpens the mind, leading to profound inner growth. Through years of dedicated practice, these principles become the gateway to peace and awakening.   Kino and Tim also examine key Yoga Sutras that contextualize the Tristhana method within yoga’s spiritual tradition, bringing historical depth and meaning to the practice. This discussion will expand your understanding of Ashtanga Yoga and provide practical insights to integrate into your journey.   Practice LIVE with me exclusively on Omstars!

    #195: Discipline, Method and Studentship in Ashtanga Yoga

    With set sequences, rules, and repetitions, Ashtanga is often seen as a devotion to discipline. But if you look closely, it is a delicate orchestration where breath, movement, and focus unite to reveal the clarity within. In today’s episode, we reflect on the purpose behind the method, exploring how every inhale, every exhale, and every asana carries intention. Ashtanga challenges us to set aside rebellion, ego, and the need to control, humbling us and inviting trust in the wisdom of the practice rather than forcing outcomes. Through this lens, Ashtanga becomes more than a physical discipline - it transforms into a mirror for self-awareness and growth. By trusting the method and surrendering to its wisdom, we create space for inner stillness to emerge. Join us as we commit to cultivating presence, humility, and the quiet strength to return to the mat, again and again.   Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com.

    #194: The Pillars of Happiness with Mary Taylor and Richard Freeman

    Mary Taylor and Richard Freeman join us to share timeless insights exploring how impermanence and interconnectedness form the foundation of a meaningful life. With wisdom rooted in years of spiritual practice, they reflect on the paradox of happiness – not as something to chase but as a natural state revealed through presence and self-awareness. Our conversation invites us to look beyond rigid structures and external validations, embracing tools like meditation and community to uncover the essence of joy. It’s not about perfection or mastery but about showing up for the practice of being present with ourselves and others. In this shared space of connection, we find the courage to hold life’s grief and beauty side by side. Through their reflections, Richard and Mary remind us that happiness is not static but a living tradition within us, nurtured by intention and care.   Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com.

    #193: Honouring Lineage When the Teacher is Gone

    The lineage of Ashtanga has always been a living tradition carried forward by devoted practitioners. But what happens when the Guru who once held the lineage are no longer present? Without an Acharya to guide us, the responsibility shifts to each of us – to show up, to practice, and to nurture the teachings within ourselves. And it’s not about perfection or mastery. It’s about presence. The simple act of stepping onto the mat, even amidst doubt or difficulty, keeps the fire of the tradition alive. Through practice, we honor not only the teachers who came before but also the community and future generations who will carry the lineage forward. Perhaps the greatest contribution we can make is to trust in the practice itself. By staying consistent and cultivating fertile ground within, we allow the teachings to flourish ensuring their vitality for years to come.   Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com.

    #192: Living The Lineage: Dedication in The Face of Change

    Ashtanga Yoga is more than a personal ritual - it’s a living tradition carried forward by generations of teachers and students. Those who came before us made sacrifices to do so and as yogis, we share a responsibility in keeping the lineage alive. So in this episode, we explore what it means to honor our teachers. Not through idolization, but by asking: How do we sustain a lineage that has given us so much, even amidst personal loss and change? What can we learn from those who sacrificed everything to preserve these teachings? This conversation invites us to look within, embrace the urgency of the moment, and recommit to our practice as an act of devotion and gratitude. Through stories, reflections, and timeless wisdom, we find inspiration to step onto the mat again and again, trusting that yoga will guide us forward, as it always has throughout the lineage.

    #191: Accessibility in Ashtanga: Honoring Tradition And Embracing All Bodies

    Ashtanga Yoga reminds us that practice is not about perfection, it’s about presence. And while this truth features throughout life’s ups and downs, let’s take a moment to reflect on this through the lens of accessibility. There is, after all, great power in offering adaptations that make the practice available to all bodies and abilities… And what does it mean to stay connected to practice through aging, injury, or self-doubt anyway? How can accessibility deepen - not dilute - our connection to the essence of yoga? This conversation invites us to embrace the transformative power of breath, movement, and intention, discovering that the perfect body for practice is simply the one we have today. Let’s celebrate, together, accessible Ashtanga Yoga and the resilience it inspires, both on and off the mat.   Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com.

    #190: The Hidden Knowledge of Yoga Within

    While our practice connects us to a lineage of timeless teachings, its essence is deeply personal and woven into our breath, our movement, and our awareness. It’s here within this space that we begin to understand the true source of the practice - our being - and the resilience it cultivates both on and off the mat.  Yet, the journey is not always easy. Life’s challenges whether physical, emotional, or circumstantial often test our dedication to this presence. And so, this episode explores the hidden knowledge beneath the surface of everyday distractions, urging us to recommit to practice even amidst challenges. With patience and faith, we learn that the seeds of yoga - when tended with care - can grow into the firm ground of transformation guiding us through life's impermanence and uncertainty. What keeps you returning to the mat? Together we reflect on the effort and grace required to sustain the practice and honor the lineage that grounds us.   Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com.
