In episode 27 of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, Donelle Mason, a Kriya Yoga Teacher from New Zealand, offers a thoughtful talk on Yoga Sutra 1.30.
This sutra names the obstacles that can arise on the path of yoga meditation, including illness, dullness, doubt, carelessness, laziness, sense craving, false perception, lack of progress, and instability. Donelle explores how these obstacles appear in practice and how sincere practitioners can work with them skillfully.
Through practical reflection and yogic insight, this episode encourages steady effort, self-awareness, and patience as essential supports for meditation and inner transformation.
