    Celebrate New Years with a Pause

    New Year’s Day is often considered a time for resolving, correcting, directing, redoubling. What if instead, it was a day of still point — a moment when the last year is over, and we can let go of those efforts, those judgements, those conceptions? And pause. And breathe. Peter talks with Wendy Newton about their New Years Day class at ISHTA Yoga. Join in person or on line here. Please support Peter's Podcast on Patreon. Happy New Year!

    I'm Whole — I'm a Fragment: Why Yogis Meditate

    Today's practice is a potent kriya yoga meditation that has come down through the lineage of Paramahansa Yogananda. At ISHTA Yoga we call it the diksha, or initiate practice that sets you on the way to experiencing why yogis meditate. Enjoy the intro talk, or settle in for a meditation practice — and practice is what yoga is all about.  Namaste! Please support Peter's Podcast on Patreon.com. Thank you! You can take class or train in-person or online with Peter at ISHTAYoga.com

    Yoking Experience and Understanding with Wendy Newton

    In today's episode, join us for our morning discussion of yoga. We discuss Shiva-Shakti, the conceptual underpinnings of Nature and its expression as our experience. Coming into resonance with either one or both is a way to grow in understanding and appreciation of this wondrous up-and-down life we work and play in.

    Should a Yogi Be Concerned with Politics?

    Today's episode answers the question, "In our contentious times, should a yogi be somehow above it all?" I received a comment that my discussion of politics in social media was disappointing. I respond with some thoughts based on the Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana, and my own contemplation of the issue. I tried to make it general and not defensive. I hope you find it helpful.

    Tuning Your Instrument Using the Chakras

    A discussion and meditation using the elemental model Tantra Yoga uses to describe experience. Explaining experience as an interaction of  earth, water, fire, air, and space allows us to adjust our energy quickly — we can see the elements at work in life, rather than having to analyze everything as having unique qualities. As a meditation tool, we can reset ourselves, much like rebooting our computer, to have the natural ability to change perspective from transcendent to engaging with our manifest world.  Enjoy the intro talk or stay for the whole meditation. Namaste Please support Peter's Podcast on Patreon. You can also take classes or study deeper with Peter at ISHTA Yoga.
