In this episode, I share why texts like the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and Upanishads were never meant to be read alone\u2014and how studying in community can completely transform your understanding. As I\u2019ve been leading my Yoga Sutras Book Club, I\u2019ve seen how powerful it is to learn this way\u2014and why it might be the missing piece in your own practice. We explore: \ud83d\udd39 Why reading alone is actually a modern anomaly \ud83d\udd39 How sutras were designed to be unpacked together \ud83d\udd39 Why commentary and conversation deepen insight \ud83d\udd39 How community supports nervous system regulation If something feels like it\u2019s missing in your spiritual study, this episode will show you why. \ud83d\udc96 Want to experience this in practice? Join me inside the Yoga Sutras Book Club where we study these teachings the way they were originally meant to be explored\u2014together, in community, and in conversation \u2192  https:\/\/www.brettlarkin.com\/uplifted\/?utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;amp;utm_campaign=uplifted&amp;nbsp; \ud83d\udcd8 Want the physical, glossy keepsake journal?
