Episode 6 | The Healing Catalyst, image of a woman on the beach in a meditative pose

Yoga is so much more than Asanas! In the West, most people equate yoga with gentle exercise. But the system of yoga incorporates many different tools including meditation, breathwork, chanting, and more. Today, we’re discussing the tools of yoga and how they fit into the Ayurvedic lifestyle. Stay tuned for a discussion on sound healing and its benefits.

When we think of yoga, we immediately think of moving through physical poses. But yoga is so much more than just exercise! While postures make up a portion of a yoga practice, we can’t forget the other tools: breathing, meditation, visualization, chanting, and more. Yoga isn’t about doing the postures, it’s about undoing what is in the way of the postures.

This week, we’re talking about all of the tools of yoga and how they fit into the Ayurvedic lifestyle. We’ll also go into the vibrational benefits of sound healing and some of the various ways you can use sound to heal yourself. Take a listen and think about how you can vibrate along with the universe.
