#55 - Yoga is Infinite - Yoga in Colombia with Laura Alvarez

Wild Yoga Tribe

Welcome to Episode #55 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Laura Alvarez onto the show. My conversation with Laura Alvarez, a yoga teacher from Colombia, was so lovely tuned into how vital it is to study the spiritual texts, sutras, and scriptures and how doing so, gives you a lens into your own mind and helps to truly provide you with freedom.

I hope that this conversation made you want to dive into the spiritual texts yourself— the study of yoga is infinite after all! If you’re looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about devotion to understanding the self and seeking depth in your own being, then this is the conversation for you.

What to expect in the Yoga In Columbia episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast

Yoga was a huge answer for Laura to all the big questions in life, all the big spiritual questions. And as yoga has been a part of Laura’s life for over half of her life, she feels like yoga has been a constant companion— an enormous part of our life that has watched her grow, a safe place to come back, always, whenever you need it. It’s a huge gift. Being able to share this gift with other, is a “double gift,” as Laura says.

As a yoga teacher training, Laura highlighted how the study of yoga never ends. Laura is passionate about the yoga scriptures, sutras, and reading all the spiritual texts of yoga. I was grateful how she talked about how and why it is so important to study the texts of yoga— it helps you to study yoga with your mind, to start to say to the ego I don’t want to suffer more, I want to love more. Yoga is freedom.

Yoga is an opportunity to choose again. As a way of being, yoga gives us the ability to choose again, and again, and again, in every moment.
