Lineages, Cults & Guru's
On this weeks episode: Lineages, Cults & Guru's
We talk about a topic that has been on our hearts of a while now.... Guru Culture!
There's no doubt that Guru's play a huge role in both modern & traditional role, so we wanted to take the time to discuss our personal experiences.
We take some time to unpack what Guru means, how Guru's can abuse their pose & more.
We also look into what it means to be a part of a lineage & how that can affect the way we approach yoga practice.
Huge conversation with lots of information & stories, we hope you enjoy!
