The Higher Practice Podcast for Optimal Mental Health Insights from One of America's First Yoga Gurus - Yogi Amrit Desai - HPP 79
Throughout human history, we have always had a desire to achieve wellness and fulfillment in all aspects of daily life. The ancients may have already uncovered the secret by developing practices and rituals that involve conditioning the body and the mind, and incorporating the spiritual component.
With the impact and extent of damage that trauma, PTSD, anxiety and other similar disorders brings in our lives, what benefits do these practices offer? As providers, could Yoga really be a potent alternative treatment for our patients who are tremendously struggling?
In today's interesting episode, we are honored to have one of the first to bring the teachings and practices of Ashtanga Yoga into the West, founder of the Amrit Yoga Institute, Gurudev Shri Amritji (Yogi Amrit Desai). We share fascinating conversations all around wellness, fulfillment, the ego, meditation and spiritual awakening through Yoga.
