When I do yoga it feels like I’m asking my body for forgiveness for all the terrible things I’ve put it through
@Petras Cirtautas I was really just referring to the sensation I have when I do yoga. Also as much as I love Jesus, I’d like to find my own redemption. I’m here on Earth now, I’m alive, I’m not some ancient being in a story.
I agree Bailey. When I do yoga it feels like I am making amends to my body for the way I have treated it.
Such an honest way to put it, I’ve never thought of it as such but you’ve made me come to that realisation. Much love and peace to you
Feel the same.
well put
I had the luxury of not working for a few months. I did Yoga and hiking almost every day. It felt so amazing. It relieved me of my depression and I experienced a natural high.
add playing music to that, and i think you have just described heaven for me! :)
In March of 2020 I was told the pain in my hip was arthritis and I have done yoga every day since. The ONLY days I took off were during the freeze here in Texas. I hope that you were able to keep up your practice!
I had that opportunity too, but squandered it and I hope to have that opportunity again someday.
My favourite yoga teacher once said, "Yoga meets you where you are." Whatever is going on for me, particularly when I'm challenged physically or emotionally, I remember that. It doesn't matter if you do nothing but roll out your mat, breathe and stay in child's pose ... yoga will meet you there. It's beautiful. Thank you, Russell.
I have been avoiding yoga for a while after having crashed my nervous system from overdoing it through Ashtanga. Your comment just inspired me to take on the practiced again and just sit there and see what my body feels like doing, in a more relaxed manner, without any pretension. I'll see how it goes. Thank you
@@agniyoga6297 I love this! Thank you for sharing.
Great quote thank you
Adrienne?
@@jojobaba754 No, but I love her too.
Yoga saved and continues to save my life.
Keep the motivation and consistency going!
Jaron Lukas cool name
Can you elaborate?
@@Jman1803 Haha right back at you!
you are deceived please turn to Jesus. This is an occult practise, same as meditation. I can declare this because God himself set me free of these chains!! Evil evil practise!! Call on the Name on the Lord and be saved. He will grant you everlasting life the moment you repent and turn from sin. Amen Thank you Jesus for dying for me and saving me time and time again. Thou i may stumble you are always beside me to pick me up and carry me when i'm weary. Amen. Thank you Father. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
After my daughter died from breast cancer, my weekly yoga session became a daily practice. It got me through the worst time in my life. I wanted to share it with others so I became a yoga teacher. Now Covid and my increasing arthritis have more or less brought teaching to a natural ending, but I still practice every day. It is my sanity. Thank you, Russell, for explaining it so well. ❤️
Thank you.
God be with you 🙏🏽
I’m sorry about your loss
❤️May her memory be a blessing.
I’m very sorry for your loss. May your daughter rest in peace. You’re amazing
I love to hear that, I’m sure it is not easy. I’m having a really not so simple year right now with lots of stress, I’m practicing everyday and I honestly can’t imagine how I would handle everything that happening without this. This became something that I’m craving for and I’m really happy about this! Gn everyone
While finishing a psychology degree I was raped and psychology brought me no healing as a therapy. That lead me to try yoga and then becoming a yoga teacher. It became my therapy
That is a rather.... Bold telling. Are you really comfortable sharing this so openly?
Psychology is mostly a joke
I also had multiple sexual assaults that brought me to a really dark place- yoga, meditation, and spirituality really healed me as well:) more so than any ant depressants i was put on. keep healing! xx
@@sacredvedicastrology Do you still do yoga?
@@fatefulbrawl5838 Obviously she is. And it should be commended.
Yes!! This is how we change the world!! Yoga is so much more than the Asanas (physical postures). Yoga is breathing, meditation and mindful living. Yoga is transformative! Yoga has changed my life, body, and greatly improved my mental focus enabling my practice to heal deep trauma and long held emotional pain. Through continued practice, I have been able to cease daily anxiety medication, alcohol dependency, back and neck pain, stomach issues, have completely different posture, gained arches in flat feet, bloomed with creativity, gained patience, let go of too much anger, resentment and enhanced every aspect of my life. At 48 (after only 4 years of practice) I am able to do things I would have never believed possible. The power is right inside of us! 💜☯️✌🧘♀️🕉🖖🌌💜
Happy to find such healing and wellness testimonies with yoga from you, Jenny! I agree that the power really resonates from us, within our thoughts and mindset. Another effective practice for me are daily guided medications, with visualization and positive manifestations.
@@JaronLukasXYZ I am fairly certain you meant "meditations" lol...my autocorrect gets me with that one as well! Thank you. Meditation is absolutely an essential part of my practice. I began yoga as a way to break up my gym routine. I had no intention of ever meditating. With my training, I was challenged to make meditation part of my daily routine. My previous self found this laughable. Now, meditation is part of my daily life! I no longer believe in such limitations! 😁
Wow i can see why youre a strong proponent of yoga. Youve helped to convince me to continue practicing to help my back pain. Thanks for your testimony and God bless

Thanks a million in advance 👍🏻
This comment is exactly what is needed to be understood for a majority of human beings.
60 year old guy here and doing my morning yoga these days is just part of my daily morning routine. Literally wakes my body up each day and preps me for the day. Days I dont do yoga I feel sluggish and out of sorts rest of day. And of course, I also do meditation each AM. Stuff I wish I learned or practiced at a much earlier age, but still good!
*I’m 18, I started doing this routine since the beginning of this year✨*
im 23 and I just started trying to fit in yoga and fitness in here and there. trying to form that routine but even doing it morning, noon, or night helps me
I appreciate your attitude towards yoga, thanks
Better late than never!
It’s so hard to explain why yoga works to people that only see the acrobat photos on Instagram. Yoga got me through the most difficult part of my life, and all I want to do is share this healing I’ve found with others. Thank you for recording this video.
Russell Brand is one of my favorite people !
Me too im going to give him a copy of half life 3
Okay
!
Me! Loved Russell for ages! xx
MistaMellow anyone that uses their brain will have: Russell Brand in their top 5
I am a 69 year old yoga teacher and yoga has helped me to cope with all the troubles I have had in my life. And I am continuing my yoga journey.
I live with chronic pain and yoga literally enables me to walk.
I quit drinking dec/2019 and started doing a daily practice of Yoga March/2020 and it has changed my life. These two changes have lead me to a more spiritual path. I feel free and so much peace.
Me too. 4.5 years and still doing a lot more yoga than drinking. 😉 keep it up!
Could have written that myself. Same dates too!
Om shanti ❤❤
Yoga saved me from debilitating ptsd symptoms 2 years ago. Still to this day I practice to keep me calm, centered and connected. Namaste, Russell 🙏
What is ptsd ?

Yoga is heaven. It’s my release, I cry when I don’t know I need to. So sweet.
it's the devil's deception, yoga movements invite demons, get yourself informed.
I feel
free when i swim, anyone else? Why swimming is so underrated? It is so spiritual to me..
I've had a lot of spiritual awakenings and epiphanys from either bathing or soaking my feet in water. I know that the most haunted places involve water....it must have something to do with energy....never got the "aha" moment on how it works....just that it does! If I'm having major anxiety....I put my feet into hot water and I can feel the release of nervous energy through my feet. Amazing!
I do! Well I guess swimming isn’t for everyone, as some might have a sort of unique reaction to deep waters. What I can say though is, any activity a person is passionate about, will connect to his mind and spirit. That’s how great the mind is.
Michelle Miller Yesssss, Spiritual awakenings and epiphanys while swimming especially in the sea. A clearer and calmer mind as well.
👏👏👏👏
Connect to water is very grounding! I love to float!!! Swimming also incorporates breathing so I know it can be very beneficial. I personally love swimming!
Is it because we started our life journey as an aquatic being as a fetus in the womb and being in the water is like going back home in a sense? Just a thought...?
*Yoga means "Union". As a practice it joins together both the spiritual and physical.*
The first time I tried yoga I cried like a baby because it hurt so bad and I remembered some pain I had experienced in childhood. It helped me to remember and release that pain. The practice of yoga will reveal the connection between mind body and spirit. Much love!💚🌞🌻
You is the Sanskrit /Hindi word for addition. You simply add to yourself.
The first step really is to recognize the deep-seated negativity so you can finally release it. I’m glad yoga did you well to move forward. Have you tried daily guided meditations yet? It helps with mental clarity too.
What type, per se, of yoga would you recommend for releasing pain in the body from complex trauma?
@@bmd823 Thank you for asking this question. I really need to learn how to do this and make some changes in my life..
Thank You Universe - you are deceived please turn to Jesus. This is an occult practise, same as meditation. I can declare this because God himself set me free of these chains!! Evil evil practise!!

Agreed. Dog walking is also wonderfully grounding and full of moments of joy...
I bet your dog did some downward facing dog before and after that walk mate aye!
One of my teachers said that in yoga , the pose begins when you want to get out of it. And that has been so powerful to me off my mat too 🙏
I think everyone should have to do yoga...even if it’s just 10 mins on the mat. It has changed my life!

@@watchmen-nehemiah4v20 yoga helping us meeting Jesus
I do yoga every day, it's religion/ exercise/meditation/timeout/self love/weight control/ knowing yourself/ healthcare and for me essential to my existence.
Anything that makes you grounded in the present moment is positive to both mind and spirit.
@David Mack You pull the fork out and you make your girlfriend more grounded then you, let the ego make her completely still👊💪😂
In the Bhagavad Gita, that was recorded over 5000 years ago, it is written that Yoga is the King & Queen of Education... also known as the Royal Path. Yoga is the Secret of Life.

I never believed that celebrities really were influential to young people. However my 14 year old son likes you and I have been trying to get him to take yoga seriously. My first thought was I’m going to make sure he watches this video and maybe he will get what I’ve been saying. Basically I’m trying to just say thank you.
Show him this video ruclips.net/video/cH-HT9WCtiQ/видео.html
Been doing Kundalini Yoga for over a year now and it has helped me overcome a serious depression and suicidal tendencies, but never forget to also get help in the form of therapy.
Hi, how are you today? If you are comfortable to share :)
@@amaryllistheplant3598 doing great
@@sinredzone I'm happy to hear that ☺️
I started doing yoga a couple of months after my dad passed and it really helped me get through the grieving process
Thanks for sharing Russell 💜 I’ve been practicing Iyengar yoga for about four years now and it’s been one of the most effective treatments of my PTSD and depression I’ve accessed. I was so distanced from my body, I was living almost like a brain in a jar, and even when pain called my physical attention to my body, I’d suppress it as much as possible, and I just tried to not use my body whenever I could avoid it.
With Iyengar being so focussed and supported, I slowly began to build a relationship with my body that I’d never had before. I found out the difference between my upper and lower back. I noticed that my right thumb is always the last thing to calm down in corpse pose. I began to feel better but also *embodied*. It was AMAZING. Like a lot of traumatised people, my relationship with my body was yet another fragile, dangerous, threat-filled arena, and that manifested in lots of different ways. The disruptions are still there, I’m not “cured” yet, but I trust my body now in a way I never have before. I know it can do more things than I restricted it to. I know there are probably yet more things I haven’t tried yet that I will one day be able to do.
One way I noticed this change was about two years into it when my lovely instructor pulled out a new piece of equipment and instead of immediately beginning to joke about how much I’d suck at whatever she wanted me to do, starting to grimace at what was about to happen, I just watched her instructions, nodded, and gave it a go. And then realised I’d just given it a go! I just said yes, in a physical way, to a new experience, with confidence. Amazing.
I occupy the kind of body that a lot of people wouldn’t associate with yoga 😉 But *I* know it’s a yogi body.
ALSO, coming from a Christian faith but loving and being aware of the huge variety of ways my brothers and sisters of faith through history have related to and expressed relationship with and joy in the divine and in creation, I’ve enjoyed experiencing this new way to pray and to engage with God and others. The greeting of Namaste I recognise as a way of reflecting that we are all imago dei. The process of feeling my muscles, the floor, the air moving in and out of my lungs, the scent of my friends hair as she poses next to me, moving in tune with all of creation, having a moment of quiet thankfulness for and acceptance off all that is and all that has been and all that will be. Many Christians are afraid of any spiritual practice they don’t recognise, especially middle-class white ones like myself, but with such a lack of recognition of the ways in which even Christians have sought to engage with God through the physical. But if they paused for a moment when repeating their favourite memory verse about the fruits of the spirit to recognise that love, joy, peace, patience, kindness and self-control are all embodied practices, not purely “spiritual” (if we take the Greek influenced meaning of not-flesh), then they can truly embrace why Paul (as one example) recognised that physical training is of some value. I really hope more Christians will embrace their freedom in Jesus to experience the benefits of yoga, and see that they don’t need to experience it separately to their faith. I’m so thankful to God that He’s given me this gift and for the healing it’s brought to my body, mind and soul.
I started to take a gentle yoga when I was recovering from my leukaemia chemotherapy treatments. I owe a lot of my rehabilitation, and even more important my mental stability to taking those classes. I used to hate on it so hard because I thought it was boring, but that is the whole point. If you can’t empty your mind, you will let your mind control you instead of owning your consciousness.
Thank you for caring about us, Russell. Your effort is appreciated. ❤️
I have been doing Ashtanga Yoga for 44 years and as an elder now, I hope to always be able to do, until it is time to go home. good show
That's amazing! I'd love to know more about your yoga journey. I will soon be starting my RUclips channel about holistic health. Would you like to talk about your yoga journey on my channel?
Did my yoga class this morning. It's saved my life quite literally! All of what you say, movements to breath work and using the mind is so powerful 🙏❤️ it's helping me overcome my eating disorder and anxiety, plus rebuilding my strength xx
Yoga is LIFE! I practise every day with Adriene 🧘🏼♀️
I like Adrienne, Yoga With Kasandra is one of my favorites as well.
Any yoga. It doesn’t have to be one version. My daughter and I do minimum 10 minutes day. Some days 10 minute hip opener. Some days 1 hour vinyasa....whatever. Just slap that mat down EVERY DAY.
It’s the everyday that matters. Gentle, easy. You are practicing self love. The benefits will accumulate exponentially.
I appreciate your attitude towards yoga
Being in nature especially the ocean is one of the most spiritual experience I have in life. A form of meditation what just blurres out all the noise out of the head
I tried yoga for the first time earlier today and I just saw this video aha!! I find it pretty hard to cry and I cried during and it felt so good. I felt so light and capable after.
You should always do yoga for your physical and spiritual mind
beautiful 🤩💕🧿
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing x
I have been getting back into yoga for about a year now, and certain aspects of the psyche have been opening back up from when I was deeply meditating when I was younger. It is a beautiful practice to do daily and my wife and I are constantly stretching throughout the day. Thank you for your videos, man.
Mr Brand, yoga changed my life especially when i started doing yoga aligned with a ayurvedic diet! The whole practice improved tremendously!!
I only gravitate to those who are real and have “no agenda” and you my friend are the real deal. Thank you for your LOVE 💗
Everything in nature has a rhythm to it , the ocean waves, the moon , the sun and your body is not seperate from nature . Yoga helps to bring the body in alignment with its natural rhythm , our breathing, our hormones all flow in a natural rhythm within the body )
So true
No, not true. I had a kundalini spirit rebuked out of me, and the back pain i had been suffering with for YEARS disappeared within a week after the prayer and healing day i had. Praise Jesus. HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE LIES. Jesus set me free AMEN!!! I followed this stuff and was convinced. But it's NOT TRUE. It's demonic. The difference between new age and Jesus Christ. You can't sell Christ. New age is all about YOU. You you you you. they say; 'you deserve this' 'it's good you're doing this for you' 'you're worth it' 'follow your wildest dream' brainwashing subliminally. It all leads you away in the complete opposite direction of Christ as it's from the Devil (ANTI-Christ) and he wants your soul just as God does. Praise almighty God. Jesus Christ will open your eyes call upon the name of the Lord and be saved!!!! [Romans 10:13] - I do not speak as a liar but as a living testimony that the Lord has given me to share. All those who have ears to hear let them hear!! Amen!! Much love, truly. Jesus Loves you with an everlasting life and he died for you. Seek him with all honour and humility and you WILL find him. xxxxx
Garuda Pure nonsens . Many things do not have any rhytm in them , and ocean waves are an example of that. Rhythm is an attribute of working machines - and they are dead. The braking of rules (by comparison) is the symptom of progress and life.
@@davedowden So , you expected breakage through of kundalini forces ( not spirit , mind that ) to come with no pain , and its stopping of pain you atribute to an invented political symbolism (which is Jesus Christ ) ? And now you're back in your believing in demons - how pitiful. You can't love others , when you don't love yourself , because only by loving yourself you can understand feelings of others - and yoga ( which means: unification ) helps you to do just that. Simply stating : you are misled by your religion. Yoga is NOT a religion. It is a means toward physical and spiritual development.
@@davedowden I never try to convince fanatic. Particularly one believing in so called evil. It is very convenient form of selfjustification.
For them everybody is stupid , or blind , or mistaken , or evil. Deserving to be punished. Deaf for the truth. Their truth. Not well thought through , just taken from their own little understood experience , and even lesser knowledge.
Yoga changed my life, immensely. Opened a door to another world that I am now addicted to 😂🌍❤️🤯
“If you like a bit of science with your new age witterings” love it. This is why I watch these videos, the humour is like a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. Thank you for all the effort you are putting in to help make the works a better place! 👍🏻
Russell has this enchanting chill about him which I admire so much
I been doing yoga since I was 7 years and it really helped with some much with my life especially when I had cancer 8 years ago.
The static poses also build muscle like nothing else! It’s miraculous. I went from underweight to gaining ten pounds of muscle mass in a little over a month of daily practice. My depression took away my appetite but the muscle growth stimulated by yoga made me actually interested in food again. I don’t think I would have gotten healthy without it, at least not for years.
I have never tried yoga but I'm sure any exercise is good for depression / anxiety ect
How did you start. In a class or by yourself?

I’ve been doing yoga since 2014 and I love it! People think that you need to be flexible to do it but it’s actually the thing that makes you flexible in time 🧘♀️ it’s taught me to be more patient with myself when I learn things 😌highly recommend 👌
I've been teaching yoga & meditation for 14yrs. I could not see my life without. Thank you Russell for shedding light on why yoga is important. I think if more people practiced yoga the world be changed for the better.
That's amazing! I'd love to know more about your yoga journey. I will soon be starting my RUclips channel about holistic health. Would you like to talk about your yoga journey on my channel?
Yoga has become part of my life and I can't imagine it without the daily practice. It is incredible how it transforms you in its own gentle way... how with every day practice you become stronger, somewhat more grounded, calmer, more with yourself, more yourself. It creates space where you meet with your body, and you listen to it, you give it your time. It's the moment when mind bows to the body. I totally get why it's called after the word 'union' - it truly is union, and you begin to feel its effects within months of regular practice.
Thank you Russell. Your thoughtfulness and authenticity are tantalising. The more of your videos I watch, the more I appreciate you.
Thanks a lot for all that you share with us. best wishes
Mind bows to body....is really true...I experience that!!!
You know what, Russell Brand, on April of 2018 a yogi came and offered her services to my apartment complex for free me and one other man have been going to yoga with her since then faithfully and it has changed my life as well for one thing I didn't even know you existed until I saw you on a South Park cartoon then I started looking for you and found out I like a lot about you so there you go brother have a great day
Yoga absolutely changed my life. It's helped me get through some of the most challenging times, and it's also connected me with some great friends.
Russell you are doing such amazing service by spreading your messages, encouraging self awareness, reflection and connection with something bigger. This is such a beautifully succinct and relatable description of the power and benefit of yoga. Yoga has changed my life too and I know it is always there help me (if I let it) to face any of life’s challenges. I hope your video inspires others to practise xx
It seems to me that anything that takes our mind off of our current society immediately reduces stress and anxiety. Going into nature, yoga, meditation.
Yoga saved me after going through a rough divorce. I am now a certified yoga instructor. Totally agree with you Russell 🧡

Yoga has benefited me because it’s put me in touch with my breath again. For years I’d been hyper breathing for years which puts you into an anxiety state. You can still get as much done by slowing down, breathing correctly and being in control. Plus the exercise leaves my body tingling and revitalised.
Love yoga. Took it up late in life but would love to see it introduced to children in early years at school, teaching them using breath as control tool as well as the quiet mind and meditation.
Kundalini has transformed me from feeling like a Clerk Kent to a Superman, it needs discipline and can be hard at times but the benefits totally out weigh anything else, the physical techniques are similar for everyone but the healing is very unique and personal to you and you don’t know it’s happened until one day things aren’t there anymore! Sat Nam x
I just started yoga 2 weeks ago and I'm currently doing a 30 day yoga programme and I can't beleive what I can do already. I suffer from anxiety and ptsd which makes me quite fearful of sleep. My dreams are so intense but yoga just takes that edge off the same edge I use to take off with drug and I honestly think it's working so well 🙏🙏
I started yoga throughout a really hard time in my life. I now can't finish a day without it. Feels like giving myself a massage every night
I discovered Yoga in college, as a PE class, it changed my life as well. Classes are fun but my favorite Yoga is done outside in nature alone. I am a FCS teacher:) and I teach yoga and meditation to my students as a way to deal with stress and anxiety and they Love it! Over fifteen years now and I will be practicing Yoga as long as I have breath in this body. Thank you for sharing with us all what Yoga means to you.

Yoga is my physical church 🙏💯 💛
One of my favourite human beings during these crazy times. I love listening to his wise words.

Russell currently your videos are my yoga. Yes pain , PTSD hurts like hell. Thank You for saving my life.
Thank you Russell. When I saw you carrying a yoga mat the first time I decided to give it a go. I haven’t been consistent but your videos really motivate me to keep on trying! ❤️
Kundalini Yoga is a cut above the rest.....became a teacher almost 10 years ago.....unbelievable experience
I do 30 min. of hatha yoga every morning - makes me feel good the rest of the day. 🤗
Hatha?
I’ve been doing it everyday for the past 4 month and I’ve been meditating everyday for a year. I’m hoping to incorporate yoga in my daily routine for the rest of my life
I’ve done two yoga classes so far and I am so excited to learn a more functional way of fitness and hopefully someday have a yoga channel and teach people what I am learning So we can all be happy healthy yoga people
That's wonderful everything I've learned about it so far I'm looking forward to being a hundred years old and doing my first Warrior II Warrior 3rd Warrior poses 4th Warrior poses! I love it love it love it!
Totally agree with you Russell in saying that trauma has a physical component!! You should read “The Body Keeps The Score ” by Bessel van der Kolk. I can definitely see how yoga can be helpful in healing this
Cla Dal The issues are in the tissues.
Absolute brilliant book. A stranger on Facebook suggested it to me 3 years ago. It was a revelation for me. Took me weeks to read because I would stop and cry because I finally had some answers
Yoga has been a great mental healer for me, I’ve suffered on and off with depression since I was a young teenager (43 this year) I’ve done yoga for past almost 2 years, but haven’t done it since September, just the odd session at home and it has had a detrimental effect on me, I work for myself at home with 3 children and I am really struggling since before Xmas, trying to work out if I’m depressed or just unhappy with work stresses, I need to get back into daily yoga again to balance me out, loving these videos, I’m missing the spiritual connection to myself and finding that inner balance to switch off my negative chatter.
You videos have such a calming effect on me. Thank you for being you. Much love to you Russell ❤
Love this video Russell. I’ve strength trained for over 25 years and arrived at yoga after an injury. So initially all I wanted to do was heal. I got way more than physical healing and way more than I imagined I would. I’ve learned to be still, to observe my thoughts and emotions and allow them to pass. I’m far more grounded and way less stressed. I feel my daily practise has made me a better person. As a parent, I’m much calmer with my kids. I listen more and talk less.
I’ve been practising mainly Yin Yoga but have recently added Vinyasa and Hatha to the mix.
After so many years of strength training, this a welcome switch for me. I’ve realised that the intensity I was chasing was a mask to avoid feelings and emotions I’d rather avoid.
So for me, yes. Yoga has indeed changed my life.
Namaste 🙏🏼

Your voice in this video is like yoga, soothing and restorative. And I don't have enough energy to do a practice right now after m y twelve hour shift. So thank you.
Please continue sharing your experiences. You really are making a positive difference 🙏🏼❤️
just last night i commented on your phone slavery vid: "Would you consider please leading us in a yoga class video?" so thank you for this today! i'd still love if you'd lead a practice session as a video....esp kundalini!!!
YES YES YES TO All 3 questions , I am now awakening from an unconscious existence through Yoga and noe self manage my Bi Polar with no chemical meds at all
Yes yes yes. All of this. I quit drinking 4 years ago and yoga was such a help for me physically and mentally. It’s great in so many ways. Loved hearing your thoughts. The “yogasm” is what I call it when I stand up after a vinyasa and I get tingles in my head. Natural high.
Hi dear Russell ,knowing you for ages from different TV shows i can see the immense change in you .Before I must admit you were quite disturbing with your body language and certain comments while now you bring absolute peace and love in your every word and action .Thank you .

The Ethalon that's true👍
I was saddened recently when I overheard a conversation in the Vitamin/Herb shop between the owner who is a mid 40's fella and an older lady (maybe mid 70's) customer. As the lady finished her transaction she made mention that she was going home to do her yoga exercises that help reduce her neck pain. The owner's tone of voice changed with alarm and he encouraged this woman to stop doing yoga as it was quote: "the work of Satan" and she was putting her life and soul in peril.------- I was so stunned.
He offered her no alternatives just his state of fear.
My experience:
Yoga is a wonderful way to focus on breathing that supports and assists in being more fully present in the body.
Being more present allows me the space to discover the peace within.
Watched your Stand-Up from Netflix - YOU ARE NUMBER ONE ! I was not bored even for 2 seconds between jokes. It has spirituality, poetry, humanity, a lot of truth, wisdom and laughter. Thank you ! I hope one day to see you live in a show. Second is Dave Chapelle, and then all others...
4 months of yoga has changed my life. I can't wait to see where this journey goes.
I don't know if you'll take a book recommendation, but Bessel van der Kolk's "The Body Keeps The Score" has something to say about the psychological aspects of yoga, especially related to trauma. Maybe you've read it already. He might also be a good guest for a discussion, if that could be arranged.
I completely second this statement!! I’m so passionate about that book and if Russell and him spoke that would make my entire life
No, stop cultural appropriation, why would you read from a western guys book,
