Ashley Turner: Yoga Meets Modern Psychology

"I believe firmly in doing the deeper emotional work in yoga and not just the physical practice. Shiva consciousness is the soul, the essence that embodies the feminine body. Yoga connects them," says Ashley about the mind/body connection. "In yoga, we hear a lot of negative talk about the ego, getting rid of the ego, slaying the ego, but from a psychological perspective, we really we want a healthy sense of ego, a strong sense of self. A yoga practice does help us find this," explains Ashley about developing a healthy relationship with our egos through practicing yoga. "If yoga is exploring a larger consciousness, what do we do with our primal instincts? How do we deal with the heart-wrenching experiences that we go through? We're beginning to want to understand how to create lasting change in our personality structure. It takes a lot of work and it's a slow process to change habits. It's an evolution." In this Speakeasy, "Living Truth: Where Yoga Meets Modern Psychology," Ashley Turner explores the psychological effects of yoga and how the psychology and yoga converge.
