Episode 4: Finding Harmony between You and You with Ravi Dixit
Many of us have likely taken a yoga class, or even have an established practice, but are we living the true essence of yoga? Ravi Dixit is a London-based yoga teacher, who is passionate about reconnecting you with yourself and finding harmony between you and you. With the popularity of yoga in the West, Ravi feels some core principles have been diluted, and he works to make these tenets more accessible for everyone. For Ravi, yoga has always been a part of his life and he attended several ashrams before moving to London, where he has quickly become one of the city's most sought-after teachers. In this episode, Ravi sheds light on what yoga is and how it brings you back to yourself. Yoga is far more than a physical activity; it is a deeply embodied, holistic practice that influences how you live your life. Ravi is a special kind of teacher because he truly practices what he preaches, and he shares the story of how yoga helped him heal himself from a near-fatal accident. Having had a lifelong practice, Ravi's consciousness was able to draw on his innate healing capabilities. We hear about his practice, how he shares ancient yogic principles with his students in London, the power of awareness and presence, and how yoga classes can be more inclusive and holistic. Yoga draws on universal knowledge that we all have access to, so tune in today to hear it all.
