The Basis of Yoga Before Breakfast

Chat GPT: Pre-sunrise and half delirious, the host records from the bedroom, shooing the dog and joking about password keystrokes while admitting last night’s shift wiped him out. Still, he shows up with a quick wisdom drop anchored in Sadhguru’s line: “The basis of yoga is to be absolutely intense and relaxed at the same time.” He reframes it with a clean metaphor—an F1 car at full power yet frictionless—then lands the practical takeaway: most of us confuse intensity with tension and relaxation with laziness. The work is to remove internal friction so effort feels smooth, not strained. He owns his own healing pause (back tweak, skipped angamardana) without surrendering the larger aim: daily practice, steady output, and the campaign to gather names for an Inner World Summit. It’s brief, unvarnished, and focused—less performance, more presence—an invitation to click, breathe, and move through the day in high flow, low drag.
