What yoga philosophy is teaching me
Namaste! I have humbly made this short video on ancient, yogic philosophy because I think it is worth sharing anything that might allow us to gain a little more insight into this journey called Life. Humbly - because it would be reckless to suppose this is the full picture of a vast and ancient field, so please bear that in mind; and - because I am very much still a student. While I do feel I have gained many insights over the years, it is also a case of the Socratic dilemma: The more I know, the more I realize I don't know. But this can be healthy. It can spur us on, allowing curiosity, openness - and some of the many concepts I mention in the video - to guide us. I hope you mind find a little something here that you needed today - maybe just a bit of calm. Much love, Helle

I love the saying, "Future suffering is to be avoided." Which means to live our daily life without fear, expectations, and attachment.
I am knitting while watching this video. Surrounded by comfort while the morning sun is streaming through my windows and now through my mind. Thank you my friend, Bobbi
Loved this Helle, thank you for sharing💛
Thank you. I’ll be playing this again.
Thank you Helle - such a pleasure to listen to this! Thank you for sharing your insights and the beautiful video of the woods! They remind me of the woods around here - Scotland and Denmark have quite a bit in common :) I'll certainly be coming back to listen again ....
Wonderful , easy to comprehend explanation of the philosophies that guide you
Just lovely! I will be having this available as a lesson to return to over and over. Thank you! ❤❤❤
Thank you for this yoga-focused podcast. It was very nice to see. Whenever you bring up yoga, it reminds me to practice more. Have a wonderful weekend!
That you. What useful information and an easier way to understand. ❤
I appreciated this so much... thank you Helle!
very good, thanks
Thank you for this video. Exactly, what I needed to see/hear right now. The part about feeling pain in one aspect of your life but then also be able to find contentment in another stuck with me. I will be watching this again - and I need to pick up my yoga practice again. ❤

I'm late to it but si interesting. And what a beautiful nature journey. so serene. The lilac, the smell must have been delicious, and all the other beautiful colourful flowers and trees. Stunning Helle. Thank you.
Lots to think about here. :-) Gorgeous garden views (and your cat!). Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom with us, along with the beautiful backdrops of the nature that surrounds you 💚 I’ll for sure be coming back to this video from time to time 💚

Ah, staying "present". That is so often a real struggle for me these days. As yoy can guess this was both timely and interesting . So glad I chose to watch your episode at day's end. I did keep wondering if your garden was as fragrant as the many blossoms suggest. It's very beautiful. I'm also particularly attracted to scenes near water. All in all this episode ticked a lot of my boxes. Thank you 😊💓
Wonderful wonderful podcast. Thank you for your inspiration.
I enjoyed this video. Thank you!
Hello Helle, I'm not a Yogi, but as a member of your online musing community, I am open to the sharing of philosophical ideas and just want to send you some encouraging words. You bring so much depth & quality to this community, regardless of the topic. Try not to let a reduction in numbers of views and/or negative feedback negatively impact your body of work here. It's your space, not to sound arrogant or rude. If people don't want to receive your message, it's like you said, it's your mat. I appreciate hearing your thoughts about life in general and especially when it isn't all things knitting. Some of us like the mix and will remain in this community you have so thoughtfully created, regardless. I think it would be tragic for you to stop or limit your sharing of thoughtful insight in whatever way you deem appropriate, rather than basing success on the numbers of views and/or subscribers. It really is to their disadvantage to drop off, whether they realize it or not. Maybe that's the American in me, but let's be serious. Society suffers when the entire premise of artistic & philosophical work and the sharing of ideas is based on promos, marketing trends & the almighty dollar. Variety is truly the spice of life and I benefited from some of the Yoga philosophy you shared. The worst thing of all is tuning in and listening to nonstop KAL & giveaway promos, or anything else used as a knitting gimmick purely to generate hits... Thank you so much for all of the time and effort you put into every episode that makes it uniquely yours and a great place to be. One final thought, some of us prefer to watch incognito. Unfortunately, toxic political correctness has demonized some of us otherwise normal & broadminded individuals and therefore we just prefer not to put ourselves out there.

What a lovely podcast, wise words on yoga teachings for everyone to try and live by. I know having learned yoga breathing how powerful it can be in moments of stress, calming the mind and the body. It helped me get though my long eye surgery.
Loved your video. Such a beautiful area with all the trees and blossoms. The yoga philosophy was explained beautifully.
Thank you for this beautiful video. I have been thinking more and more about trying yoga lately, and this was just what I needed to get me to look a little harder for a studio that is interested in more than just the fitness benefits. I appreciate you more than i can say.

What a joyous episode! I have been trying to introduce my mother to yoga but she insists it’s nothing more than being able to bend into impossible positions. I have also met folks that cannot be alone & undistracted from their own thoughts. It’s too disturbing for them and they become extremely restless. This video is a warm and gentle reminder of what yoga really is and what it promises those who practice regularly. Thank you for taking the time to create it! 💛

Thank you so much, I appreciate it. And you can tell your mother that many of us are not interested in the bending-like-a-pretzel poses but seek strength, mobility and inner peace, and this - you can get (as I know you know). Much love 💜☮️

What I’m mindful of right now is the sense that no time has passed though I haven’t observed your channel in many months. It’s as if I’ve stepped right back into sync with you given shared philosophies and interests. Goodness how I have missed your videos! I’ve practiced a beautiful form of Japanese Buddhism since 2002, so I’m hugely grateful for your mention of Buddhism multiple times throughout this overview of yoga. I love that you offered such an in depth review beyond yoga poses. As a westerner, you are correct, this is how many of us conceptualize this practice. Given my Buddhist life philosophy, I knew there was far more to it than simply striking a pose on a yoga mat. I’m amazed at how much of what you have shared matches my Buddhist practice in theory and mindset. Now I feel inspired to sign up for yoga along with knitting classes. Two things I have yet to try. Thanks as usual for the inspiration and sharing so much from your mind as well as your heart! So happy to know you online Danish one! 💜🇩🇰🇺🇸

Thank you so much again for your heartfelt comment; it goes straight to my 💜 And yes, there are so many similarities between Buddhism and yoga philosophy, possibly because they both originated in India. One of my fellow yoga students (at the YTT) is also a practicing Buddhist, and she said pretty much what you said here. I love that you’re open to trying out both yoga and knitting 😍 Let me know how you fare 😙

Heee, what a coïncidence: I had been thinking how nice it would be if you shared some of your yoga expertise with us , Because I really love your calm presence, that may have come forth out of your yoga practise 😁 thank you! 🙏 I’ve been watching, to me it is quait a lot of information, a bit overwhelming… 😬 Could it be an idea to, every now & then, do a little practise we can follow?

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I will definitely think about it. Also, don’t worry about the overwhelming bit; I’m sure you got out of it exactly what you were meant to today 😌✨🤍
Hello, I was about to exit out of this video once I realised you were not showing your knitting but something told me I should watch it. I practised yoga years back and would really love to get back into it but life has been hectic and I haven't found a studio close to my new location as yet. I thought your explanation of the principles was very informative and calming in and of itself. I find that I'm always searching for something and presently that is peace and a way through the grief of losing my adult son almost 3 years ago and trying not to feel so aggrieved by all the selfish unfeeling people that I'm exposed to. It's hard going but your video may push me to stop some things and start some positive things. Thank you Hella ❤🩹

Thank you for your open-minded comment 💞 Maybe there was a reason you were drawn to this today. I am so, so sorry for your loss 💔😔 While nothing can ever erase a sorrow like that (and shouldn’t), I believe that we can always find more peace. Have you read Viktor Frankl’s book Man’s Search for Meaning? It’s an example of how people can go through horrifying things (he survived Auschwitz) and still go on to find peace. Yoga could also help. I hope you’ll find whatever you need right now. Much love 🙏🏻💙
