I loved this video and your telling of this story. I have to teach this pose and its history today as my final exam in a yoga class and this has helped immensely, thank you truly. Keep doing what you’re doing because it’s amazing. 🧘‍♀️🧘

Hi Kevin, British person living in New Jersey here. Im currently going through teacher training and am extremely interested in learning more about the mythology that informs the poses. This video is fantastic. It renders the practice so much more meaningful.

[@DiaryofaChubbyYogi]

Hey Fiona. That’s awesome!! I’m a big fan of a good story. The joy of the myth that works through sanata dharma is that it’s so colourful and rich in meaning and interpretation. I have a few more of these in the pipeline. If there’s anything else I can do to help please contact me

Hey, I loved your video so much! Please tell more mythology stories related to yoga! Your way of storytelling is funny and informative. The best of two worlds :)

[@DiaryofaChubbyYogi]

Thank you so much!! I’ve been doing a load of reading over this crazy year just so that I could make sure my info is as accurate as possible. Watch this space!!! Thanks for leaving the comment. My apologies for the late reply.

[@DiaryofaChubbyYogi]

They’re lovely huh? We have @kentratgirl to thank for that

[@benthesaxguy13]

[@DiaryofaChubbyYogi]

Ah yay. Thank you for the feedback!!

[@NatouCBS]

I love this and I've used the same story within a few of my classes... Are there any specific books/texts that you use to find these myths?

[@DiaryofaChubbyYogi]

Hey Matthew. I cant recommend one specific book. The best source is from someone who was taught the stories as a child. The Mahabharata is sprinkled with some incredible moments, the Ramanyana is literally epic. There are some wonderful modern authors too. I’ll put together a reading list and do a video! Thanks for the inspiration.

Amazing story, brilliant explanation! What book do you read at the end of the video?

[@DiaryofaChubbyYogi]

Hey there - it’s not actually from a published book - those are my notes. The copy was written by @kentratgirl for a warrior workshop that we do. Her writing is beautiful.
