Gannon Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Stories #007

• Ashtanga Yoga and the Ego

Some yoga practices can feed the ego. Other yoga practices help to debilitate the ego. What is the difference and why? Watch Michael Gannon in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, during an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training, explain why he experiences Ashtanga Yoga as the system that best helps us keep the ego in check.

Now, if you are thinking, “What?! I thought Ashtanga was a practice for that made big egos?!” That is a common short sighted misconception! Think again! Watch this short video to understand why.
