Description

Today Dana Diament - Yoga Medicine Online teacher, and lead teacher for the Yoga Medicine Online 200hr Teacher Training - returns to speak with host Rachel about “Spiritual Imposter Syndrome”.  Whether we are yoga students or teachers, doubt in the validity of our own spiritual experience can hold us back from fully feeling or expressing it. But the humility that comes hand in hand with this self-doubt could actually be a superpower.  In this episode, we explore our definitions of spirituality and thoughts on what a spiritual practice could look or feel like. We also dive into the complex topics of spirituality versus religion, spiritual superiority, and spiritual bypassing, and offer advice for yoga teachers who’d like to incorporate more spirituality into their classes.
