Bikram Yoga: The Real Yoga Process is Not Sexy, and It Does Not Sell.....(until it is really the only thing you even want!)
Season 3, Episode 28, Nov 26, 2021, 04:29 PM
Despite the apparent popularity of "yoga" even just in North America, the actual yoga process is not even close to being mainstream.
Yoga is confrontational.
Yoga is working for one's own healing.
When we choose to work for our healing - or even if we do it unintentionally at first - we choose to look directly at our own selves. Pain, weaknesses, habits, injuries, trauma, shortcomings, mistakes, and all.
We are mostly brought up in a capitalist milieu where happiness is sold as something that comes to you. Where feling good should be passive, where joy comes from another person or the obtaining of a manufactured need/want.
So when we take a step into a yoga practice, we are inherently stepping in another direction.
The amazing thing is that once we feel the yoga working, we become relatively immune to the distractions, products, manufactured needs and wants, etc. Because we have created one of the things that humans inherently want and need....all from within our own efforts. The feeling of the present moment.
All of this happens within a traditional 90-minute orginal hot Bikram Yoga class!
