This recording is a talk given before one of our Pranayama classes in our Borderless Online Shala 2020. Pranayama, the Yogic breathing practices is the 4th of Patanjali´s 8 limbs of Yoga. It is said to lead the practitioner towards Pratyahara the 5th limb. Pratyahara is commonly translated as  ”sense withdrawal”. However, I find this translation quite problematic. Can you really withdraw your senses?In a time of confinement, distancing and separation I think it is especially interesting to look at the deeper meaning of a concept that seems to ask the yogi to do just that:  withdraw from the world.Thank you for listening.
