3.02 Eight Paths to Enlightenment: The Branches of Yoga
Powered by RedCircle
In this episode we explore eight different branches of yoga: Tantra, Hatha, Bhakti, Karma, Mantra, Jnana, Raja, and Guru Yoga. That’s right - eight different branches of yoga - because yoga means so much more than making postures. Yoga, stemming from Hinduism, means to yoke oneself with the Divine. Enjoy a conversation between two best friends playfully discuss these yogic branches. They also compare and contrast the Hindu path of liberation with the Buddhist path of self-realization.
Also discussed today: the mother wound, Krishna Das, the pineal gland, and more.
