Life vs Yoga? Living for Yoga or Yoga for Living

Apr 21, 2026

During the summer of 2018, while on a month-long visit with Lydia on Cape Cod, I recorded several video Q&A segments.  I had the time and space to really think about the questions, as well as my responses, which I actually fully scripted before hitting the record button.

Below is my reply to a question sent in from Israel by Ori, in which he asks an age-old question: "What is the role of a Yoga practice in everyday life?"  I used Ori's inquiry as an opportunity to talk about some of my history, as well as the very practical  approach espoused by my teacher T.K.V. Desikachar.

LIFE vs YOGA?  A deep answer to a heartfelt question.

The email for sending in questions is still active, so please feel free to use it.  Perhaps your inquiry will inspire my next video!
