Interview With Yoga Instructor Myra Rucker

Myra Rucker is a yoga instructor at the YMCA, Nokomis yoga, and a teacher at Common Ground Buddhist Meditation Center in Minneapolis, MN. Myra was Tom Bushlack's first yoga teacher, and has become a wonderful conversation partner on this path of his contemplative transformation. Myra enables us to come to understand that yoga is more than a physical practice. It is a truly contemplative tradition, in which, Asana and Pranayama (posture and breath) are only two aspects of the full eight limbs of ashtanga yoga. These concepts culminate in a single-pointed union with the object of one’s meditation in Samadhi. This insightful, engaging and enlivening podcast is well worth a listen for those wishing to expand or begin their meditative journey.
