Hey there,

Last time we wrote to you about the wet matchstick.

The idea that most of what we reach for when something needs to change works at the level of the strike, not the match. That emotions don't live in the mind and understanding them, as real as that is, happens somewhere different from where they're stored.

We've been pointing at something across these emails, and today we want to show it rather than describe it.

We’re sharing with you a free lesson on the spiritual essence of yoga; what the practice was originally designed to open in a person, beneath the postures, beneath the breathing techniques, and beneath the silence.

In the video, Guruji teaches knowledge that has been passed directly from teacher to student for thousands of years.

It is one of the clearest explanations of what yoga actually is, not as exercise, not as philosophy, but as a living practice capable of reaching the layer we've been describing.

You can watch the lesson here without the need to sign up.

With care,
The Yoga Daily Team
