THE DARK SIDE OF YOGA

Hi Friends! In this video, I wanted to have a quick discussion about a side of yoga that I haven't heard many people talking about on this platform. Yoga is such a seemingly innocent, beautiful, and enlightening practice, however I believe this practice can be a birthing ground for a much darker path as well. I'm so curious your about your thoughts on this topic, and I hope this brings some value into your journey as well!

Thank you as always,

With love, namaste
Mollie

Chitta, prana, and bhuddi. The thinking mind, life force, and the knowing mind or the witness. I just got back from my 200 hour intensive teacher training at kripalu. I think that without yogic philosophy it’s hard to realize the gifts we have been given.

And we definitely only get the physical part of yoga in the modern western world. We also need meditation and breath work.

Hello! I have only recently come to yoga at a time of great positive change in my life. I also came across the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. That really did it for me - it changed my outlook on how to live entirely. It puts into context what you are talking about here. Worth a read if you haven’t already.

This was such a good video! It can be so hard when the solution seems so obvious. I’ve definitely made this mistake recently too with a close friend. It wasn’t yoga but something similar vein. I think I came to same conclusion you did. You have let people live their own lives and simply be curious about them. I realized that I can actually give myself more space and gentleness when I intentionally try to not overburden my own solutions to others too. Something about relationships to self and others being on a similar wavelength or something hahahha 😅

This is very common thing to happen it happened with me when I started meditating. But good thing is once you realise it you stop desperately forcing yourself on others….

Mollie ive been doing yoga for more than twenty years and it is beautiful, but it is another kind of sport. We have to be careful without the excess of things. You are not yoga, you are molly. Its a tool for mental and physical health. It has to be complimented with other forms of exercise.

Love this ❤️ I felt the exact same way you felt about yoga with diet. Once I started eating vegan I wanted everyone around me to become vegan 😂 I love the fact that you started this channel because of that 😃😃😃
