Personal integrity — keeping your word — is the core value we look into in this episode.
We discuss what it means to have integrity.
The difference between integrity and self-integrity. How integrity is an important aspect of your yoga teaching and your self-practice. And how students often don’t hold much integrity around commitments to attend a yoga class.
We also discuss a solution to having more integrity. And how your community, your friends, and the culture of where you live can have a big impact on the importance you place on integrity. We even touch upon the Vedic approach to this, and how a Vata imbalance can be related to a lack of integrity.
