Ep. 22 Sutra 2.1 on the Sādhana Pāda and Kriya Yoga
About this episode
On this week’s episode we begin our exploration of the second chapter of the Yoga Sūtra, the Sādhana Pāda - the chapter on Practice. The first verse in this chapter gives us a very practical, yet challenging, prescription for the yoga practice in action or Kriya Yoga. These three essential elements - tapas, svadhayaya, isvara pranidhana - heat or austerity, study of self, surrender to divine - are the building blocks from which we can truly build a practice of Yoga.
