Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Understanding Prana As A Practice of Body, Mind, and Breath with Prasad Rangnekar
Q: If somebody feels like their prana is blocked, is it a good way to just focus on that and mentally will the prana to flow through that, or is there more refinement?
Rangnekar says physical obstructions can be addressed with practices such as neti for nasal congestion, and that concentration can help direct prana. He describes Prana Dharana as a foundational practice connected to how movement, bandhas, and mudras affect pranic flow.
Understanding Prana As A Practice of Body, Mind, and Breath with Prasad Rangnekar
Q: Could you explain etic and emic approaches, and the distinction they make when studying yoga and prana?
Rangnekar explains that an etic approach studies a subject from outside, often through objective analysis, while an emic approach understands it from within its cultural context and lived experience. He says prana is part of Indian language, culture, and rituals, so it cannot be fully understood as breath alone.
Sankalpa: The Missing Piece in Your Yoga with Medha Bhaskar
Q: How can one begin the process of finding a Sankalpa?
Begin with a regular, patient practice—dedicate time to reflect on what inspires you, ask why it's important, and continue to probe inward with multiple rounds of questions until a clear, resonant direction emerges.
Sankalpa: The Missing Piece in Your Yoga with Medha Bhaskar
Q: How do Sankalpa and affirmations or manifesting differ?
Affirmations and manifestations tend to be shorter, more material, and time-bound, while Sankalpa is broader, rooted in inner alignment and Swadharma, and works on shaping the environment of your life by aligning with deeper values.
Sankalpa: The Missing Piece in Your Yoga with Medha Bhaskar
Q: What is a Sankalpa and where does it sit in yoga?
A Sankalpa is an intent or resolve that channels one's will toward a life direction. It comes from ancient yogic texts and sits beyond quick affirmations, functioning as a long-term, guiding commitment that shapes thoughts and actions.
