“Solidify yourself on the ground of who you are.”
In this talk from Wanderlust’s Speakeasy at Lake Tahoe, Rod Stryker, accomplished yogi, author and teacher explains his four simple principles for healthy relationships. In this lecture he explores the nature of marriage and partnerships and how the expectations have changed over the past century. No longer bound by the same contractual, familial expectations, marriage has gone from being a contractual affair between families to one where two parties can be together based on their intimate feelings. Stryker encourages and exploration of this evolution. Although he speaks of feminine and masculine traits, he emphasizes that his four principles can be used in any relationship, regardless or gender.

Be active in everything you do, make the choice to participate and love and nourish yourself and your partner.
