- Religion & Spirituality
Thousands of years ago, monks and yogis would seek out enlightenment in caves and in the forests. In our times, we don’t have the opportunity to seek enlightenment in caves. We are tasked to awaken in our daily lives. We are monks without monasteries. We are modern yogis and most of our yoga is done off the mat. That is, if we are paying attention. Alyssa dives into the awakening that comes about in our daily life experiences after our yoga and meditation practice. And it’s not all pretty poses on Instagram. Awakening and healing are pretty words; but they’re not all butterflies and unicorns. We're getting real and we're getting gritty. Because ya know, the lotus grows in mud. So let’s talk about that mud. ** Intro music composed by Mathis Picard
