Episode 47: Into the Mystic

In today's episode, we explore our monthly theme - mystery! We discuss the concept of being a mystic in your yoga practice, which can be both intriguing and complex. We also explore maya, or illusions that can cloud our world, and how to lift the veil. We touch on the idea of how mysticism can be understood as “experiential knowledge of spiritual things” and more! Our takeaway is that the more you embrace the unknowns of life, the more connected to the (nonlinear, wild) path you can be!
