Svādhyāya, Eric Carmen and a Sunbeam of a Human
About this episode
In this episode, Amy McDonald reflects on spirituality, the concept of Svādhyāya, and lessons from Eric Carmen about expansive moments in yoga classes.
I recently met someone who asked me to define my spirituality. What is Svādhyāya and are you making time for it? In this episode I’m reflecting on what ‘spirituality’ is, how to grow and learn about the self in a non-obsessive way and why I think Eric Carmen has an important lesson for us in allowing for expansive moments in class.
