The Relationship Between The Yoga Sutras & The Bhagavad Gita - James Boag, 'The Chai Sessions'
In this episode of the Chai Sessions, I'm talking to good friend, podcast regular and yoga philosophy maestro James Boag.
We explore the relationship between two of the best known yoga texts, the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita.
I really enjoyed this conversation, and as always, there was so much more we could have talked about. I hope you enjoy it too.

Yoga Nidra: An invitation to simply be - Lucie Potter, 'The Chai Sessions
zhlédnutí 82Před rokem
Lucie and I are both very passionate about the benefits of yoga nidra. She regularly comes to MCY to share her beautiful seasonal practices with everyone.

    Thanks so much for this lovely gentle video! I love your very natural and relaxed teaching style. The content of the video was excellent too. I'm so pleased I started looking at some smaller channels during this global crisis because I have found some really great videos and made some great new friends. I am trying to do my bit to support smaller channels that I think should get more love. I've subscribed to your CZcams channel so hopefully that will help a little bit. I'll also send a link to my students as I know that they will enjoy doing this lovely gentle routine. I know it's a bit cheeky to ask but if you have a bit of time could you check out my CZcams channel and see what you think. Any feedback would be helpful. If you happen to like my channel and subscribe to it that would be great! We smaller channels need to stick together! Lets grow together. Lots of love and best wishes, Sefali x
