ROvolutionen #18: How yoga philosophy can help us find calm in our lives

This episode was recorded on Zoom, with Mike being in Portugal and me in Denmark, so the sound quality may vary:) In this episode of ROvolutionen I talk to Mike Bloch-Levermore, a yoga philosophy teacher. Mike has a bachelor degree in Western Philosophy, and has studied Hinduism, Yoga Philosophy and Sanskrit with Oxford University, and Yoga Philosophy with Seth Powell of Harvard University. Mike is particularly interested in Classical Non-Dual Shaivism and in this episode we talk about the difference between some of the main texts in yoga philosophy. In this episode we talk about…How can yoga philosophy help us find calm in our lives The final goal of the three main philosophies taught in yoga trainings – Bhagavad Ghita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Yoga Sutras – and is that really what we want? A look at the Yoga Sutras and the 8 limbs of yoga and why it’s really way more hardcore than most of us think A look at classical tantra philosophy (no, it’s not about sex) How classical tantra can help us find calm in our everyday lives – not just to be found on a yoga retreat where you escape for a while Why the ultimate goal of practising yoga isn’t to be constantly happy The (false) glamour of Instagram yoga vs. the reality The beauty of being with every feeling – also the bad ones The concept of Spanda – the constant movement of expansion and contraction The music of the Universe – is it a symphony or messed up jazz? Mike mentions the classical tantric text Vijnana Bhairava Tantra Follow Mike Bloch-Levermore here:Website: Interactive Philosophy Instagram: @allthosemomentswillbelost Facebook group: Interactive Philosophy Anmeld ROvolutionen på iTunesHvis du kan lide min podcast, vil jeg være så taknemmelig, hvis du vil bruge et kort øjeblik på at anmelde ROvolutionen på iTunes.
