I have witnessed a lot of changes in the yoga world in the last 20 years.There is a lot of innovation here in the West, combining so many different fun and upbeat genres with yoga poses and I admire these creative and fun sports. I am all for innovation, for continuing to bring the conversation into the present moment where it must be valid, and applicable in todays world and YET…there is a natural order of growth that comes from desiring to know your full self. Building up the myth of the separate self with social media, competition and obsession about gaining the next pose and capturing it on instagram seems to be the inimical to digging deeper into the inquiry needed to understand the very thing many think they are searching for-clarity/ happiness/self-knowledge. It seems that one needs to challenge and unpack the conditioning of what is keeping the misunderstanding of separation alive…and yet the monster is being fed more and more everyday and its appetite is insatiable! Sadly, saying that we are all connected sounds great..heck its the newest fad to proclaim, but words are cheap these days and experience is greatly lacking.
