Timothy Kasper: From Dance Floors to Yoga Mats - A Journey of Self-Discovery
We are pure consciousness, and that's what the whole aim of yoga is: to connect with that higher self, that sense of self, the true self behind the illusion, behind all the images and screens and ideas that filter our perspective of reality, whatever that is.
Timothy Kasper's journey is anything but ordinary. Hailing from Chicago and weaving his way through the bustling streets of Las Vegas, New York, and even a brief stint in Russia, love eventually led him to Sweden. But his story doesn't end there. From the world of dance and musical theatre, Tim found his way into yoga, pilates, and gyrotonics, driven by injuries that needed healing.
For Tim, yoga transcends mere physical exercise; it's a holistic practice that harmonizes mind, body, and soul. In this episode of 'Yoga Radio Sessions', Tim shares his unique perspective on yoga as a means of self-awareness and internal dialogue. He recounts his emotional reunion with his father after 35 years and reflects on how music served as both a refuge and a 'drug' during his troubled teenage years. Tim’s approach to yoga is deeply personal.
He emphasizes the importance of breathing and creating a rhythm where music becomes unnecessary. He talks about constantly 'working with himself' and mediating between his inner voices. Hosts Christian Wigardt and Curt Lundberg guide this enlightening conversation, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the deeper aspects of yoga and personal growth. Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, Tim's story offers valuable insights into using yoga to navigate life's complexities.
