James Boag on how to "womb" it: Using mantra to deal with challenging situations can empower us to bring forth what wants to come through in a creative process of giving birth to goodness in this world.

James Boag is an internationally known student and teacher of Sanskṛt and whole life yoga. With a background in languages and literature, James went to teach English in Asia in 1999, where he soon began to discover the wonders of Yoga and Sanskṛt.

His teachings invite and guide practitioners to integrate the timeless wisdom and principles of yoga into the journey of life beyond the mat.
