Opposite of the Same Stick: Yoga, Disillusionment & the Work of Now
Share:
“Each situation you find yourself in presents you with different work or different shades or different masks of the work that you will be participating in.”
In this episode, I dive into the paradoxes we face in yoga, in business, and in life. I talk about the exhaustion that comes from always “future-tripping” and the freedom that comes when we commit to the work of being present—right here, right now.
I share how I’ve learned to hold both ends of the stick—grief and grace, chaos and calm, effort and ease—without collapsing into either side. We’ll explore why Samādhi is less about disappearing and more about disillusionment, how ancient metaphors from Vedic and Abrahamic traditions describe duality, and why the timeless rhythm of “carrying water, chopping wood” still matters.
Whether you’re building something new, letting go of an old version of yourself, or just deciding on your next right action, this conversation is about doing the work from exactly where you are.
