   #067 | The Observed Self: Practice in the Age of Social Media

   In a world where the camera is always rolling, we face a radical question: Can we truly feel ourselves if we are simultaneously watching ourselves being felt? Following a controversial discussion on Instagram regarding "Performance Yoga," I’m diving deep into the concept of Viveka (Discernment). Is it really "Ego" when we call out bullshit in the yoga world? Or is the "No Judging" mantra a trap that prevents us from protecting the depth of the practice? Drawing from my experiences at the Black Lotus Immersion with Ty Landrum, I analyze how social media affects our nervous system on the mat and why the moment we press "record" is often the exact moment the internal practice ends. Key Topics in this Episode: The Intention Gap: Why it’s not about the "what," but the "why." Performance vs. Regulation: How filming and flirting trigger our Social Engagement System and block inner stillness. Viveka (Discernment): The surgical precision we need to distinguish Yoga from mere gymnastics. Yoga in 2026: How to "disentangle" the practice in a digital world while remaining present. 00:00 Introduction: The Bali Incident & the "Ego" Trap 06:00 The Evolution of Practice: From Internal Withdrawal to External Performance? 10:58 Viveka: Why Discernment is the Highest Form of Love for Yoga 18:45 The Surgeon Metaphor: Protecting the Method vs. Judging the Person 25:30 Closing: Your Challenge for a Practice Without an Audience Ibiza Retreat (Community Edition): Secure your spot for an intensive week ! Waiting List: Be the first to know about new workshops and retreats. [LINK] Instagram: Follow @yoga.marv for your daily dose of Biomechanics & Philosophy.
