Episode 188| Real Life Yogic Wisdom with Kelly Dinardo and Amy Pearce-Hayden

Kelly Dindaro and Amy Pearce are the authors of Living the Sutras: A Guide to Yoga Wisdom beyond the Mat. The Yoga Sutras, written by the guru Patanjali over two thousand years ago, are made up of 196 aphorisms that offer potent teachings on how to deal with pain and lead a healthy and fulfilling life. Living the Sutras is an introduction to classical philosophy, a quick guide for students and teachers, and an active self-study that helps you to engage with yoga wisdom in a deeply personal way.

 

This is the yoga sutras book I’ve been waiting for! I’ve been studying variations of the sutras from when I was 13 years old and this is what I wanted to be able to have and reference at any time.

 

In this conversation we dive into the biggest takeaways from Living the Sutras, finding balance in a busy life, and so much more.
