The ancient history and philosophy of the yoga tradition run deep, but how can we apply it to modern, everyday life? In this episode, Stef and Nicole talk with Hali Schwartz, who has been teaching yoga and yoga philosophy for decades. Hali has been steeped in the world of yoga since she was a small child. When she was barely five years old, her mother met a teacher from India, and this would mark the beginning of her life spent being immersed in the practice of yoga, and later, in the study of its various traditions. When she was a teenager, she went to India for the first time to live with her mother at the yoga institute in the north-western Himalayas, where she studied, hatha yoga, pranayam and meditation, as well as Sanskrit and yoga philosophy. Hali leads yoga history and philosophy teacher training programs in Toronto, where she now makes her home, as well as leading yoga retreats, and philosophy trainings in India, the UK and the Caribbean. This conversation explored so much about what the wisdom of yoga can offer and how to really bring yoga philosophy to life, like listening to your inner voice, ways of looking at and experiencing your life's purpose, the relationship between success and failure, and more.  We hope you love this episode as much as we loved recording it!

Bringing The Philosophy Of Yoga Into Your Life - Hali Schwartz : IHP36

Raised in Montreal by the original yogi-mama seeker, Hali Schwartz lives and teaches in Toronto, Canada and visits India annually. Devoted to living and sharing yoga through philosophy, chant and mantra, Hali is a dedicated practitioner who helps yogis add the philosophical framework of yoga to their path. We talk about her unusual upbringing and how her mother met her guru, and then continue through various tenets of yoga philosophy and why bother - the remembering of our own divinity. We also talk on...  Why yoga philosophy if you're not interested in going down the rabbit hole How the external practice influences our interior and vice versa The chronic misunderstanding that enlightenment and "real" spirituality is devoid of emotion, when it has more to do with being present to emotions without being overwhelmed by them We touch on the Hindu philosophical systems of Vedanta, Sankhya and Yoga and how these philosophies reveal that our perception is flawed Using philosophy as a lens for self-discovery, and seeing students as fellow journeyers The flow of money between teacher and students, in Indian ashrams and in our own Western satsang (community gathering) The importance of personal Sadhana (practice) for being wrong with ourselves, but not "putting it all over other people".  Wow! What a fascinating woman - author, teacher, and musician. You can find out more about Hali from her site, which you can find linked from the show notes.
