Yoga in Daily Life Class of Level 1 Part 2 filmed in Sydney

from Villach, Austria. We are lucky to meet in this city. I came to Vienna for the first time in Austria. Back then, not so many people practiced yoga.

Light is life, darkness is death. How long does the light in the lamp burn? How much oil is in it? After a while, the divine light of life goes out, whatever we do. We keep this light in our hearts.

The speaker continues a discourse from the previous day, focusing on the Mūlādhāra Cakra as the seat of destiny (prārabdha) and divine energy.
