Estoicismo y yoga ante la enfermedad. Ramiro Calle.

Welcome to a new episode of "The Yogis of the West" with Ramiro Calle. In this episode, we discuss illness as one of the greatest tests of stoicism. We explore how pain, the fragility of the body, and the proximity of death can become a true inner training ground. We reflect on the difference between acceptance and resignation, on why we shouldn't add suffering to pain, and on how to cultivate equanimity, awareness, and mental fortitude when life pushes us to our limits. From real experiences in the ICU to teachings from stoicism, yoga, and classical philosophy, this dialogue invites us to see illness not as a punishment, but as a teacher that can humanize us. An episode for those who seek to live with virtue, calm, and clarity, even in the most difficult moments. As always, it's a relaxed conversation in which we try to combine knowledge, experience, and practice. Ramiro Calle is a yoga teacher and writer. He was a pioneer in introducing yoga to Spain more than half a century ago. He has written more than 250 books on diverse subjects, mostly philosophical or spiritual, though also collections of short stories and travel guides. Since 1971, he has directed the Shadak Yoga Center in Madrid.
