Yoking Experience and Understanding with Wendy Newton

Today's episode answers the question, "In our contentious times, should a yogi be somehow above it all?" I received a comment that my discussion of politics in social media was disappointing. I respond with some thoughts based on the Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana, and my own contemplation of the issue. I tried to make it general and not defensive. I hope you find it helpful.Please support Peter's Podcast on <a href="https://patreon.com/peterspodcast">Patreon</a>.You can take classes and training with Peter at <a href="https://ishtayoga.com">ISHTA Yoga</a>.Namaste
