Aparigraha vs. Hustle Culture: I Quit Maximizing. Here's What Happened
Podcast: The Uplifted Yoga PodcastPublished On: Wed Feb 25 2026
Description: Are you addicted to efficiency? This episode explores the fifth Yama, Aparigraha — non-grasping, through the lens of modern life. We talk hoarding… not of stuff, but of tasks, to-dos, and productivity itself. If you've ever found yourself trying to "earn" your rest or multitasking even in your downtime, this one's for you. Let's talk about: 🔹 What it really means to stop grasping (hint: it's not just about material things) 🔹 The dark side of the "maximizer" mindset 🔹 Why we hoard productivity (and how it erodes presence) 🔹 How contentment (Santosha) offers an antidote to overwhelm 🔹 What Mary & Martha can teach us about being vs. doing Yoga begins with your relationship to time, tasks, and how you be with yourself. Let this episode be your reminder: You don't need to do more to be more. 💖 Give yourself permission to slow down, check in, and come home to yourself with my Yoga For Self Mastery course => https://www.brettlarkin.com/yoga-for-self-mastery/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=ysm FREE Practice: Yoga for Anxiety & Anger: Yoga to Surrender & Calm Down (25-min) - All Levels Relevant Blog: Aparigraha: 6 Ways To Completely Let Go In Yoga Relevant to Today's Episode: 📖 Yoga Life Book 📚 Healing with Somatic Yoga Book 🐍 Yoga for Self Mastery 💖 Uplifted Membership 🌀 Somatic Yoga Life Coaching 🎧 Also Listen to: #384 – Do Less, Heal More: 7 Invitations to Resolve Trauma from Organic Intelligence #403 – Why You Keep Failing at Self-Care — and What to Do Differently #404 – What If I Fail?
