The Inner Path of Yoga: Svadhyaya and Ishvara Pranidhana

In Yoga, daily actions become sacred moments we experience with awareness and surrender. In this episode, Myra Lewin explores two of the niyamas from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras: svadhyaya (self-study or reflection) and ishvara pranidhana (surrender to the divine). Together, they illuminate the inner path of Yoga: refining the mind so it doesn't run (or ruin) the show, but instead serves the heart. Through reflections from her practice and personal life, Myra shares how these teachings support us to: Observe our thoughts and motivations without judgment Let go of the illusion of control and rest in trust Balance discipline ( tapas ) with humility and devotion Cultivate a life guided by peace, clarity, and love When self-reflection meets surrender, grace begins to move through our lives, and we remember Yoga isn't something we do, but a way of being in relationship with the divine in all things.
