Nondual Yoga and the Energy Body (Billy Doyle)

In this episode, host Stephan Bodian and yoga teacher Billy Doyle draw on their training under the late Advaita master Jean Klein to explore how Hatha Yoga and body awareness intersect with Advaita Vedanta.

While conventional yoga often falls into a dualistic self-improvement trap, Klein’s unique “body approach” is intended to actively release the physical contractions that mirror the ego.

By tuning into the energetic "body of light" through non-interpretive listening, a practitioner can shift from conceptual thinking into a global spaciousness that dissolves the artificial boundaries between inside and outside and reveals the true listener behind all listening, the ultimate subject behind all objects.

To demonstrate this visceral portal to our essential nature, Billy guides a practical, seated energy meditation.

The episode concludes with reflections on the profound transmission of silence embodied by their late teacher and readings from Billy’s poetry celebrating the return to our nondual true nature.
