This is a great article about how the philosophy of Yoga is essential to the practice of yoga. It's also a remarkable warning to those who might try to practice yoga without being interested in Yoga philosophy! bbc.com/sport/get-insp…

I had a great chat with @diti22 about What is Yoga. Aditi Shaw is both sensitive to the tradition, philosophy, and contemporary practice, so it was a great discussion. I'm looking forward to our next chat. To view the chat, head over to @diti22 and check out her IGTV.

Bill 156 attempts to hide the conditions of farmed animals in Ontario, claiming animals do not think or feel hence do not need protection. This is an egregious denial of 60 years of research in science and ethics. ON folk, please contact your MP today act.newmode.social/649945439t

@KristinAndrewz @Routledge_Phil @CambridgeUP Congrats !!! Amazing.

Animal minds, and how to study them. I have two books coming out next month with two presses, odd as it is. @Routledge_Phil @CambridgeUP

After posting what could have been viewed as cringe worthy, and receiving a range of supportive and kind responses, I have decided that I have the nicest followers. I have no other explanation. Thanks for following me!

Apparently my translation of the Yoga Sutra is the number one seller in the Christian Philosophy section---beating out such favorites as St. Augustine's De Trinitate 😀 Amazon.ca is always full of surprises.

@dbatherwoods @NeuroYogacara Yoga Sutra for sure , 2nd C.E., but this is implicit in early models of yoga in the Upanishads.

@NeuroYogacara Cool!

An article in the The Palgrave Handbook of Workplace Well-Being tracks the relevance of philosophies of yoga ~~~ and relies on a particular translation of Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra (Penguin 2008) by, you guessed it, yours truly!!! Yoga is you living your life!

It's unusual for yoga philosophy teachers to be a professional philosopher, a yogi, a scholar of South Asian practical philosophy and Yoga, or translator of the Yoga Sūtra. I started Yoga Philosophy to share my knowledge! My Phil People page: zcu.io/GyZn

I'm posting my translation of the YS backwards, so over time the whole text will be on my Instagram. I took to the YS as I was trying to crack the problem of translating philosophy. To read philosophy is to make connections, but the YS is a fountain of such connections .

We see the importance of yoga training grounded on scholarship and knowledge of philosophy and the South Asian tradition where yoga comes from. Check out our founder's translation of the Yoga Sutra, and yogaphilosophy.com. Follow us for Free Yoga Philosophy Training,

The Goddess Lakṣmī (the Earth) embodies the goals of yoga: svarūpevasthānam/“abiding in one’s form” (YS I.3), svarūpa-pratiṣṭhā/“standing on one’s form” (YS IV.34), and more literally sva-svāmī/“own mastery” (YS II.22). Happy Earth Day!
