The Importance of Asana Theory and Meeting Yourself Where You’re At

71 mins

This talk moves between practical asana theory and the realities of daily practice. David begins by showing how forming a clear inner image of your posture shapes what happens in the body, then applies the Seven Asana Principles to backbends like Ustrasana, Kapotasana, and drop backs. The conversation expands into how to practice through low periods, stay connected when you lose ground, and live the Bhagavad Gītā’s teaching to know your duty and do it without hesitation. It concludes with the story of Hanuman’s Yawning Service — a reminder that even the smallest task or most ordinary station in life can become a complete path of devotion.
