We live very comfortable lives. More comfortable in fact than ever in human existence. This has its benefits and its limitations. One of the limitations is that we are not facing difficulty as frequently and therefore not growing into the resiliency that the difficulty provides.

In this episode, Eva & Gabriel talk about the benefits of doing something that puts us out of our comfort zone. Hopefully, this episode will inspire you to face something you've been avoiding.

In this short & to-the-point episode, Eva & Gabriel offer you an exploration into the essence of Yoga. There are so many misconceptions about what Yoga truly is in the world today. This ancient and profound practice has so much to offer to us. Listen to Eva & Gabriel go through the famous quote by Yoga Master Aadil Palkhivala about Yoga.

“True yoga is not about the shape of your body,
but the shape of your life.
Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived.
Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been;
yoga cares about the person you are becoming.
Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose,
and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.”

Tune in and listen to this conversation with Eva & Gabriel about how to understand the differences we have as humans. We are all unique in multiple ways. On top of our uniqueness, we have our own opinions and perspectives. How can we live in harmony with others, even when they are very different and have very different opinions from our own? Yoga understands that we are all connected on a deeper level. How can we bring this sense of connectedness back into our society at a time when polarisation and confirmation bias are so prominent?
