E29: The Ego as Servant of the Heart with Govind Das & Jacqueline Michelle

Curious Ones By Yandara

Living in the western world brings us many challenges. The Ego is tempting and the cultural norms lead us on a path that cherishes material wealth and outward appearances. Ultimately this way of being leads many people to suffering.

This week the wonderful Jacqueline Michelle and Govind Das spoke with our host Yael Ginzburg about a different path. The path of Yoga. The path of living with the divine at the center of our lives. Simply redefining success can lead us to understand that wealth is not material.

The yoga path can create space between the divine and the ego while using the ego to serve the heart and embrace our humanity.

They also spoke about cultivating our personal practice and a community in order to sustain our connection during day-to-day life, raising children in a spiritual family and more.

Govind Das and Jacqueline are husband and wife yoga teachers and wonderful kirtan artist from California, where they own a studio named Bhakti Yoga Shala.
