Dismantling the Kleshas - The Actual Aim of Yoga
Podcast: The Uplifted Yoga PodcastPublished On: Wed Oct 11 2023
Description: I bet you thought the goal of yoga was to achieve samadhi or enlightenment, right? WRONG. More precisely, yoga is about dismantling the 5 kleshas (obstacles) which prevent us from realizing that samadhi (bliss) is our natural state. Deep dive with me into eleven critical epithets: Verses 2.1 to 2.11 of the Yoga Sutras, where I'll give the often overlooked kleshas - the obstacles and afflictions that cause suffering - the attention they deserve. Discover: 🔹 Why the concept of avidya (ignorance) is often mistranslated and misunderstood 🔹 How the kleshas aren't created equal, but actually function in a hierarchy 🔹 How to "grade" your kleshas using Patanjali's framework 🔹 Why the kleshas likely won't be eliminated (no matter how much you practice), but how you can leverage them to become more discerning in your day-to-day life. If you enjoyed the episodes where I've read the Yoga Sutras aloud, you will love this nerdy episode. 🤓 History of Yoga Course on Sale❗ Instagram: @larkinyogatv Train with Me: ✅ 200-hour Online Yoga Teacher Training 🔮 300-hour Online Yoga Teacher Training 🐍 Yoga for Self Mastery 📱Book a Free Yoga Teacher Training Clarity Call here!
