How do we recognize ignorance if ignorance never f

How do we recognize ignorance if ignorance never feels like ignorance?

In this episode of the Yoga Inspiration Podcast, we explore Avidyā, the root obstacle described in the Yoga Sūtras. Avidyā is not simply a lack of knowledge. It is the mistaken seeing that makes us believe we know, cling when we should release, and confuse illusion for truth.

The moment we can honestly say, “I do not know,” something begins to shift. That moment of humility opens the door to wisdom.

This is the work of practice. Not just learning more, but seeing more clearly.

Listen to the full episode and reflect with me on how yoga helps dissolve ignorance and bring us closer to truth.

There is a rhythm to the practice.

A steady unfolding. One posture leading to the next, breath by breath, until the whole sequence becomes a moving meditation.

Over these 14 days, we’ll return to that rhythm through short, focused tutorials designed to help you reconnect with each posture in a clear and accessible way. You can follow along step by step with the full pose map in the next slide as your guide.

In the first week, we build toward a half Primary Series. In the second week, we continue forward into a full Primary, ending with a live guided practice together.

This is a chance to come back to your practice with consistency, patience, and intention.

Join me April 8–21 and let’s move through it together on @omstarsofficial.🌟

I’m quitting Ashtanga, going off the grid, deleting my Instagram, and shaving my head…

Just kidding #aprilfools 😝

But in all seriousness, I hope to keep practicing every day for all the days I have left to spend here in this body on this planet.

The dream of continuing to practice every day is not small. It is a quiet vow, almost like a whisper to life itself that says, I will stay present for as long as I am given breath in this body. In the yogic sense, that kind of commitment is not about discipline alone, but about relationship. A relationship to practice, to awareness, to the unfolding of who you are becoming moment by moment.

I have a dream of one day going off the grid and living on a sustainable island. I did once shave my head and wouldn’t rule it out in the future. I doubt I’d delete my socials but I might go dark for awhile, especially while on retreat.

And always with a touch of humor because the ability to laugh, to not take it all too seriously, even while touching something that is profoundly sincere. Yoga, at its heart, asks for both. A deep commitment and a light touch. Effort and ease. Practice and surrender.

It took me two years of failure to finally stand steady in Pinchamayurasana. I fell more times than I can count. Each attempt brought up something new, frustration, irritation, discouragement, disappointment, even moments that felt like hopelessness. There were days when comparison crept in, when I questioned myself, when the practice felt heavy instead of liberating. And still, I kept going.

Somewhere along the way, something subtle began to shift. Not in the pose at first, but in me. The urgency softened. The need to achieve started to loosen its grip. I stopped measuring my worth against the outcome. I stopped fighting where I was.

And it was only then, when failure no longer felt like failure, that the pose began to open. Of course good technique, thoughtful alignment, and intelligent drills are invaluable, and they offer pathways that can refine our approach. But there is no short cut around our own learning process.

When I was no longer disturbed by falling, I stopped falling in the same way. When I became comfortable in my own skin, the body found a new pathway. The practice was no longer about getting somewhere else. It became about being here, fully, honestly, without resistance.

I had to make peace with where I was before anything physical could change.

That lesson stays with me far beyond the shape of the pose.
