Nancy Nomellini is driving the development of the community-rooted Yoga center called Mother Yoga in Seattle, Washington. In this episode, she rips off the assumptions we have about Yoga as something that we go to or do. “When consciousness began, Yoga began.”  There is no way which we can escape Yoga. Yoga exists as we exist. Are we living or are we LIVING? There might not be a difference except in our awareness. Can we raise our awareness, attitude & mental temperament to meet this gift of living reality? Join us as we swim around in the science, history, stories and scriptures of Yoga. Nancy brilliantly describes some of the types of Yoga including Hatha (postures, movements), Raja (royal), Bhakti (devotion), and Tantra (rustic, ritual). She shares scriptural descriptions of Yoga pinning these to the daily experience including the dual-non-dualism in the Bhagvada Gita, Yoga Sutras and others. We walk through oppression/justice work and spiritual by-passing. Nancy is a charismatic & engaging story-teller who is unapologetic towards her target of truth. She is solidly anchored within her body, breath, family, history, community and the work of justice, including veganism, while she gathers & weaves these wisdom threads through the joys, tragedies and mundane parts of being alive. This is a show not to be missed. Settle in to your body & breath & let Nancy take you for this ride.
