Amy Weintraub @amylifeforceyoga is our latest guest on #theflowartistspodcast . 🌱 We delve deep into her latest book Temple Dancer, which explores the lives of two women living in different times - Saraswati a Devadesi and Wendy an unfulfilled artist and clinical social worker. ‘Temple Dancer is a lush read, and a richly atmospheric journey deep into the history and magic of female sexuality and spiritual transcendence. The tragic yet triumphant stories of both women are enriched by the foundations of yogic philosophy and the divine enigma that entwines the lives of two unlikely souls.’ 🌿 We explore Amy’s creative and research process, including connecting with women who learned from the lineage of Devadesi tradition and her thoughtful approach to writing about a tradition from another culture. 🍃 Wendy, the other main character deals with depression - and her part of the story unfolds during a meditation retreat. We discuss Amy’s earlier life as a depressed television producer and how it later informed the her work sharing accessible yoga to help with depression and anxiety with LifeForce yoga. 🌸 We also discuss life during COVID-19 and how Amy is drawing from her resources of balancing practices to help navigate these challenging times. 🌼 It’s a great conversation - you can listen directly from podcast.flowartists.com (link in bio) or look for us on Spotify or your favorite podcast app 💖 . . . . #templedancer #amyweintraub #devadesi #indianwomeninhistory #yogafordepression #yogafordepressionandanxiety #yogabook #sacredsexuality #indieauthorsofinstagram (at The Flow Artists Podcast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIwnahejXCO/?igshid=1jwi0btrgomcq
