Reema Datta
Reema Datta is the author of The Yogi’s Way: Transform Your Mind, Health, and Reality. She first learned yoga and Ayurveda from her mother and grandmothers as well as her grandfather, who wrote several books on Vedic philosophy. After receiving her master’s from the London School of Economics, Reema Datta worked for the United Nations before leaving to study ancient yogic wisdom and practice. Since 2002, she has taught yoga and Ayurveda workshops, retreats, and trainings in twenty countries across five continents.
THE YOGA HOUR TEAM COMMENTS: This was a wonderful conversation between two people who really understand the teachings of yoga philosophy and want to benefit the self and humankind through one individual action at a time. Reema Datta shared valuable practices from her book, The Yogi's Way. She spoke about how important it is to observe ourselves and others in non-judgement and that in each moment "we have a choice in what to say and what to do," and that "a stepping stone to love is understanding." All this and more comes out in this podcast. This is your "how to" guide to live the principles of Yoga and improve your life.
DR. TRUJILLO’S COMMENTS: We spoke about the underlying unity of yoga philosophy, and how it is essential in meeting the challenges of today’s world. I really appreciated our conversation about how we can witness powerful emotions such as anger, grief, sorrow, and fear, accepting them without being overtaken by them. I appreciated Reema Datta’s perspective that the openness of witness consciousness isn’t cold, but rather is an expression of love. Our discussion of yoga’s ethical principles of nonviolence, non-stealing, and contentment, along with the journaling practice she presents in her book will be helpful for our listeners.
