The Step You Are On Is The Way
This week, Britt asks Christina to talk about the concept of Kaya Sadhana as she wrote of it in her book Yoga From The Inside Out in chapter three. The two discuss tantric yoga and learning to be present with whatever step we are on while we are there. Christina talks about how you cannot skip steps along the way and how the practice helps us remember the larger picture.
In this conversation Christina shares her experience with disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and bulimia and the process of cultivating yoga as a space to care for addiction. Britt also shares her own experience with these topics and the two discuss the patterning we inherent from culture and family of origin. Christina reflects on how her perspective has widened in the last 20 years from body image in the terms of beauty to a more intersectional and expansive view of self-care.
