The Yogi’s Way: A Holistic Approach to Transforming Your Mind, Body & Reality (feat. Reema Datta)
Over three thousand years ago, yogis knew what scientists are discovering today: The mind has the power to destroy us or to propel us to greater peace, vitality, and freedom.
Yet yoga’s profound teachings on the mind and consciousness are often overlooked in contemporary practices, which tend to focus primarily on physical postures and breathwork. Today, my guest, Reema Datta, will share these timeless teachings with us, emphasizing the practices and principles we can adopt to enhance our lives.
Reema Datta is the founder of the Yogi’s Way, a holistic method that integrates movement, breathing, and consciousness practices with a focus on emotional well-being. She is certified to teach Ashtanga yoga and Tibetan heart yoga and is an Ayurvedic therapist. Since 2002, she has taught yoga training and retreats in over twenty countries across five continents. Her students include Sting, Paul Simon, Edie Brickell, Zainab Salbi, Sujatha Baliga, and thousands of other practitioners globally.
In this interview, Reema offers lessons and practices rooted in yogic wisdom, cutting-edge science, and the realities of modern life. These can empower us to break free from our minds' destructive tendencies and experience lasting peace.
