#140 Jahnavi Jethmalani - Authentic Yoga & The Modern Human

Jahnavi Jethmalani - Authentic Yoga & The
Modern Human @jahnavi.jethmalani


Adam met Jahnavi at Purple Valley Yoga in Goa in April and they
started a dialogue, this is a follow-up conversation to that
original one.  Adam will be back at Purple Valley Goa
teaching with Edwin Bryant in October 2024.


How do we balance yoga transmission for modern life? | Yoga is
suited to the context of the West | When yoga goes too far from
its roots makes it uncomfortable for Indians | How to move toward
a more authentic expression | Is yoga union? | Going beyond the
physical asana | Grounding the practice in yoga philosophy |
Overtake of the sutras | Can you do yoga sadhana without looking
at the original texts? | What is the sadhana grounded in? | How
to a space of sincerity and authenticity | Physical movement and
mind mastery | What do you use your mind for? | The trap of
authoritarianism in the yoga world


The problem comes when you are taking the culture as an identity
to what you are doing. If I practice yoga then I also have to
wear the clothes and the beads and the whole set up as a costume.
Yoga is not anything you do externally.
