Yoga Inspiration

Ashtanga Yoga reminds us that practice is not about perfection, it’s about presence. And while this truth features throughout life’s ups and downs, let’s take a moment to reflect on this through the lens of accessibility. There is, after all, great power in offering adaptations that make the practice available to all bodies and abilities…
 

 
And what does it mean to stay connected to practice through aging, injury, or self-doubt anyway? How can accessibility deepen - not dilute - our connection to the essence of yoga? This conversation invites us to embrace the transformative power of breath, movement, and intention, discovering that the perfect body for practice is simply the one we have today.
 
Let’s celebrate, together, accessible Ashtanga Yoga and the resilience it inspires, both on and off the mat.

#191: Accessibility in Ashtanga: Honoring Tradition And Embracing All Bodies

Ashtanga Yoga is more than a personal ritual - it’s a living tradition carried forward by generations of teachers and students. Those who came before us made sacrifices to do so and as yogis, we share a responsibility in keeping the lineage alive.
 
So in this episode, we explore what it means to honor our teachers. Not through idolization, but by asking: How do we sustain a lineage that has given us so much, even amidst personal loss and change? What can we learn from those who sacrificed everything to preserve these teachings?
 
This conversation invites us to look within, embrace the urgency of the moment, and recommit to our practice as an act of devotion and gratitude. Through stories, reflections, and timeless wisdom, we find inspiration to step onto the mat again and again, trusting that yoga will guide us forward, as it always has throughout the lineage.

#192: Living The Lineage: Dedication in The Face of Change

The lineage of Ashtanga has always been a living tradition carried forward by devoted practitioners. But what happens when the Guru who once held the lineage are no longer present? Without an Acharya to guide us, the responsibility shifts to each of us – to show up, to practice, and to nurture the teachings within ourselves.
 
And it’s not about perfection or mastery. It’s about presence. The simple act of stepping onto the mat, even amidst doubt or difficulty, keeps the fire of the tradition alive. Through practice, we honor not only the teachers who came before but also the community and future generations who will carry the lineage forward.
 
Perhaps the greatest contribution we can make is to trust in the practice itself. By staying consistent and cultivating fertile ground within, we allow the teachings to flourish ensuring their vitality for years to come.

#193: Honouring Lineage When the Teacher is Gone

Mary Taylor and Richard Freeman join us to share timeless insights exploring how impermanence and interconnectedness form the foundation of a meaningful life. With wisdom rooted in years of spiritual practice, they reflect on the paradox of happiness – not as something to chase but as a natural state revealed through presence and self-awareness.
 
Our conversation invites us to look beyond rigid structures and external validations, embracing tools like meditation and community to uncover the essence of joy. It’s not about perfection or mastery but about showing up for the practice of being present with ourselves and others. In this shared space of connection, we find the courage to hold life’s grief and beauty side by side.
 
Through their reflections, Richard and Mary remind us that happiness is not static but a living tradition within us, nurtured by intention and care.

#194: The Pillars of Happiness with Mary Taylor and Richard Freeman

With set sequences, rules, and repetitions, Ashtanga is often seen as a devotion to discipline. But if you look closely, it is a delicate orchestration where breath, movement, and focus unite to reveal the clarity within.
 
In today’s episode, we reflect on the purpose behind the method, exploring how every inhale, every exhale, and every asana carries intention. Ashtanga challenges us to set aside rebellion, ego, and the need to control, humbling us and inviting trust in the wisdom of the practice rather than forcing outcomes.
 
Through this lens, Ashtanga becomes more than a physical discipline - it transforms into a mirror for self-awareness and growth. By trusting the method and surrendering to its wisdom, we create space for inner stillness to emerge. Join us as we commit to cultivating presence, humility, and the quiet strength to return to the mat, again and again.

#196: Astrology Talk with Kino MacGregor and Gahl Sasson

Join Kino and Tim as they explore Tristhana, the foundational framework of Ashtanga Yoga that unites breath, body, and mind. Whether you are new to the practice or have been teaching for years, this episode offers a deeper look at how these three elements work together to cultivate presence, focus, and transformation.
 
 
 
Breath serves as the bridge between body and mind, asana creates embodiment and healing, and focused awareness sharpens the mind, leading to profound inner growth. Through years of dedicated practice, these principles become the gateway to peace and awakening.
 
 
 
Kino and Tim also examine key Yoga Sutras that contextualize the Tristhana method within yoga’s spiritual tradition, bringing historical depth and meaning to the practice.

#197: Tristhana Unveiled: Breath, Body, and Mind in Ashtanga Yoga with Kino & Tim

Why yoga? Anyone who has practiced for a decade, two decades, or even a lifetime knows that the answer to this question is anything but simple—or perhaps so simple that words fail to capture it.
 
 
 
Some truths can only be understood through embodied knowledge, a form of wisdom that arises not from intellectual effort but from deep receptivity. Yoga is a path of insight, not just the accumulation of facts or information, though it does not reject them. It is a path of Vijñāna—a deeper knowing, an awakened consciousness, a means of direct realization.
 
 
 
There are realms beyond what the mind can grasp, mysteries that logic cannot solve. But what the mind cannot know, the spirit can perceive, and the soul can experience.
 
 
 
This is why lifelong practitioners return to their mats, day after day, year after year. All who have touched this special knowledge—not of the intellect, but of the soul—are called them back, again and again, to what was once glimpsed in moments of deep practice.

#200: The Benefits of Strong Practice in Cultivating Tapas

If we expect somehow to only show up for our practice when things are feeling good and do a good job from the external standards, then we'll lack the kind of spiritual fortitude that’s really required.
 
And, in this modern age, it’s all too easy to lose our grip of patience when immediacy permiates our every chance to make a decision. We may be fortunate to live in a world of advancements that better our lives but, if our desire for convenience takes precedence, we risk weakening our spiritual edurance. We risk hardening our hearts when faced with difficulty.
 
We must also ask: if our default understanding of endurance is to bring presence and perspective to adversity, where does that leave us when things are going well? 
 
Spiritual endurance goes beyond ‘pushing through’ and instead offers a chance to deepen our yoga journey, to enrich our lives way beyond the mat.
