Ep #70: Pursuing Discipline

Do you struggle to maintain discipline in your yoga practice? Today we are discussing all the aspects of discipline and how it relates to your yoga practice and yoga teaching. We discuss the difference between discipline and integrity. How discipline has both positive and negative connotations.
