Welcome to Episode 335 of Live Happy Now.

Most of us think of yoga as a physical practice, but today's guest shows us how it can help us develop our intuition and encourage us to follow our dreams.

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, and this week I'm talking with Corey Hahn, a yogi who promotes soul growth

through practices like yoga and meditation. Her new book, Rituals of the Soul, using the

eight ancient principles of yoga to create a modern and meaningful life, explores yoga

through an ancient text called the Yoga Sutras. Corey has translated and simplified that ancient text to create a modern, actionable way to use

meditation, breathwork, and other practices to develop our intuition and cultivate greater

focus and joy in our daily lives.

And you can do all of this without ever setting foot on a yoga mat.

Let's find out how.

questions, you approach yoga in a deeper way than we usually

think about it because we normally think of it just as a physical practice. So can you tell us

where this fascinating journey started for you? Yeah, as far as what you just talked about finding

the deeper parts than the physical practice, that took being deeply into

my physical practice for a long time, right? And I still wasn't finding that contentment,

that peace, that relaxation they said should come. And I wasn't enlightened, even though I could get both of my feet behind my head.

And so I really had to dive deeper and I realized that most of my struggles were deeper than the

physical. They were in my psyche. They were in my unconscious. And so I think realizing,

once I realized that my struggle was deeper than the practice

naturally led me deeper as well.
