About this listen

In this episode of the Tower Yoga Podcast, host Kellee Williams explores the wisdom of the Yoga Sutras, focusing on sutras 1.18–1.22. Kellee breaks down the nature of samadhi, the role of samskaras in shaping our inner world, and the qualities that nourish a steady and sincere yoga practice.

Listeners are invited to reflect on their personal relationship with practice—letting go of the pressure to “master” yoga and instead embracing the deeper work of presence, patience, and showing up authentically. Kellee also shares how small, everyday moments of clarity and peace can naturally unfold through consistent practice.

Whether you’re a dedicated practitioner or simply curious about the philosophical roots of yoga, this episode offers grounded guidance, heartfelt encouragement, and practical insight into navigating your own inner path.
