Themes From My Book Structure and Spirit (EP.406)

About this episode

Karen Fabian shares the inspiration and core themes from her book 'Structure and Spirit', focusing on anatomy, movement, and personal growth in yoga practice.

In this episode, I share the inspiration behind the updated version of my book, Structure and Spirit, and explore the core themes woven throughout its two sections: Structure, which focuses on anatomy and movement principles, and Spirit, which explores themes of mindset, awareness, growth, and self-inquiry. From foundation, balance, and leverage to connection, resistance, and inspiration, I discuss how these ideas show up not only in yoga practice, but also in teaching and everyday life. This episode will give you themes you can easily use in your classes with your Signature Sequence as a way to create a different experience for your students without having to change the architecture of the sequence.
