Have you ever felt like you’re at war with your ego?

Can true self-acceptance come only when we embrace all parts of ourselves?

In this episode of The Spirit of Yoga, Burkhard and Tina Nance explore the role of the ego in our lives, challenging the idea that we need to “slay” or “get rid of” it. Instead, they discuss how ego is made up of the unloved parts of ourselves, and how practicing gratitude towards these aspects can transform our relationship with them. The conversation delves into Yoga Philosophy and the power of Internal Family Systems (IFS), as they explore how integration, not suppression, can lead to peace and healing.

Join us as we unpack how to bring self-acceptance into our spiritual journeys and stop the cycle of self-rejection.
