I also love the likening of Goenka to Bikram for the purposes of refining Goenka’s Vipassana. Interesting choice. : D
This is my jam!!! I’ve been practicing vipassana meditation (on and off) since 2003! It’s really reinforcing to listen to a yogi who has integrated these practices into her offering. My intention is to ground my asana offerings in a vipassana style awareness to support the cultivation of mindfulness on the mat, on the cushion, in the mirror, in relationship, in the world! I’m so excited!
Interesting talk about the Yoga Tuneups/Fitness topic. There was a lot of talk about Buddhist meditation which I understood because that’s the only meditation I learned from a Buddhist/Dutch monk. Love Dawn Mauricio’s advice “set the bar low and stillness really means inner stillness“.
