Summary

There are so many interpretations of the seminal yoga text, Patanjali's Yoga Sutra. This week, I talk to two women who've written one that is refreshingly different. Kelly DiNardo and Amy Pearce-Hayden join me to talk about their book new book, Living the Sutras: A Guide to Yoga Wisdom Beyond the Mat. Their book is not a formal, scholarly translation of the Yoga Sutra. Instead, DiNardo and Pearce-Hayden have created a guide that can help you take the sutras, reflect on them, and then apply them to your life. Their approach is lively, relevant, modern and also informed by years of practice and study.

0:00.0	Hey everyone I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is episode 122 of Yoga Land.
0:18.0	On today's episode I speak to Kelly DeNardo and Amy Pierce Hayden who have just put out a book called Living the Sutras a Guide to yoga wisdom beyond the mat.
0:24.1	This book is going to be one of my new favorites.
0:28.8	It's not a transliteration or a scholarly interpretation of Potagele's Yoga Sutra, but it is an incredibly relevant,
0:38.8	accessible entry point to the Sutraras and they provide a lot of active reflections,
0:46.7	journaling exercises, and commentaries that you can apply to your day-to-day life.
0:54.0	So I had a great time talking to them and understanding each of their unique backgrounds and
0:59.7	what they brought to this exercise, which I think is very deep study.
1:05.0	And I have to be honest, not going to lie.
1:07.5	I get a little bit tired of the men in the yoga community being taken more seriously as scholars than the women.
1:18.3	I noticed this really mostly in the quote unquote scholarly echelon. I'm not going to name any names but it's just
1:24.4	something that I I feel and notice. So I'm very happy that these women wrote this
1:30.1	book and although it's not a scholarly book I think it is every bit as important
1:36.6	and critical for self-study and self-practice and I'm happy to support them.
1:41.1	You might recall that Jason and I talked about
1:44.1	Jason's favorite non-Aacina related yoga books
1:48.4	on episode 117, and I had Erica
1:52.2	who helps me out with the podcast
1:53.8	and helps with various editorial duties.
1:56.6	I had Erica put together a list of all of your favorite
2:02.2	non-Aasna yoga books that you shared on Instagram. So you can go to that
2:06.3	podcast page, Jason Yoga.com slash episode 117 to see that whole list and I'm sure there will be some books on there that you
