My practice is not just about the pose, but the philosophy behind it. Join me to explore how ancient stories and yoga wisdom can transform your daily life.

In this discussion on Dhanurasana (Bow Pose), I explore why a practice that preaches non violence (ahimsa) has an asana named after a weapon. We learn that any tool can be used or misused, and the bow symbolizes the balance between strength and flexibility.

Bhujangasana (Serpent Pose) teaches us about shedding what no longer serves us, just as a snake sheds its skin. This video explores the story of Patanjali's origin and how snakes, often feared, represent transformation and renewal in yoga mythology.

The story of Sage Bharadvaj teaches us that sometimes what we think we want isn't what we truly need. This discussion on Bharadvajasana explores how true purpose is found not in personal gain, but in sharing knowledge for the greater good.

Padmasana (Lotus Pose) symbolizes purity and persistence, as a lotus grows in muddy water but is never muddied. This talk delves into the story of creation and how we, as yogis, can remain focused on our purpose despite worldly temptations.

Marichyasana is named after Sage Marichi, a ray of light. This story teaches us perseverance in the face of unyielding circumstances, showing that if we do the right thing, we will eventually reap the rewards of our karma.

Virasana (Hero Pose) is not just about physical bravery. This discussion on my book explores how true bravery is the mastery of fear, just as Hanuman conquered his fear with faith to achieve great things.

Ashtavakrasana is named after a sage whose body was bent in eight places. His story is a powerful reminder that yoga is not merely about the body, but about the quest of the soul, and that appearances can be deceiving.

Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose) symbolizes loyalty and devotion. In this talk, I discuss the stories of Kamdhenu and Nandi and how the pose reminds us to rise to the occasion in our commitments, despite the challenges.

The story of Kurmasana (Tortoise Pose) teaches us about perseverance and calm assessment. Just as Lord Vishnu transformed into a tortoise to support Mount Mandar, we must face life's challenges with a steady mind instead of running from them.

Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes Pose) is a spinal twist that represents balance. This talk explores the story of Matsyendranath and how the pose teaches us to find clarity by balancing our inner resolve with openness to the world.
