Ever notice how one worry can take over your whole day?
The mind grabs hold, spins a story, and suddenly we are swept away.

At other times, the Seer identifies with the fluctuations of the mind.

When this happens, we forget the present moment.
We confuse the passing wave with the ocean itself.
The wave is the thought.
The ocean is the ground beneath it.

To return is to come back to clarity of what is here now.
Worries, judgments, and memories are movements of mind, not the whole of who we are.

This sutra reminds us that getting swept away is human.
Remembering and returning is yoga.

Let the sutra meet you where you are.

Then the Seer abides in their own true nature.

When the movements of the mind quiet, even for a moment, we glimpse what lies beneath.
Not a new self to become but the true self, already there.
Stillness is not the goal. Clarity is. Awareness that rests in itself.

This is the heart of the yoga journey: to return to what we already are.

𝐒𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝟏.𝟐
𝑌𝑜𝑔𝑎𝑠́ 𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑎 𝑣𝑟̣𝑡𝑡𝑖 𝑛𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑑ℎ𝑎ℎ̣
Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.

Not the erasing of thought
Not the silencing of emotion
Yoga is awareness of thought
Attention to the movement of mind
Allowing stillness to arise through presence
Again and again

This sutra defines yoga.
Yoga is the practice of creating space between awareness and the movements of the mind by gently and continuously stepping back from the constant stream of thoughts and feelings.

To understand this is to begin to realize:
We are not our thoughts.
We are not the swirl of stories, memories, and reactions that pull us from the present.

Presence is the state of being fully here.
Attention without judgment.
Awareness of what is, without getting caught in it.
When we return to presence, the mind begins to settle.
Stillness arises through steady, conscious attention.
With steadiness and presence, we begin to see more clearly.

This will take practice.
This will take discipline.
This will take understanding.

Patanjali will guide us in the sutras that follow.
He will speak to the nature of the mind, the obstacles we face, and the tools that support the journey.
This is not a path of the physical body alone.
This is a path of awareness, remembrance, and return.

Let the sutra meet you where you are.
What does 𝑌𝑜𝑔𝑎 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑑 mean to you?

We will be sharing a new sutra each week as part of Sutra Saturdays.
A weekly offering to reconnect with the roots of yoga and reflect together, one thread at a time.

Yoga has always been a path
Long before it became a pose

Over 2,000 years ago sage Patanjali composed the Yoga Sutras, 196 concise threads that explore the nature of practice, the mind, and the path toward freedom.

Each sutra can be studied from many angles and contemplated again and again. Let the sutra meet you where you are.

Recognize these three?

From an old photoshoot a few-plus years back… proof that yoga brings together legends ✨

👉 It starts easy(ish)… keep scrolling and the mystery only gets harder.
By the end, it’s just legs. Good luck guessing. 😉

Need a little help?

✨ One has been here since the very beginning — and always will be.

✨ One stepped away for a time, and we’re so grateful they’re back again.
✨ One gave us over a decade
before heading to the coast where she still shares her teaching gifts.

Kendra practices at Santosha and has chosen to share something courageous and deeply personal about her life, her practice, and her journey with dystonia. By reading her story, you help build awareness of a little known neurological condition. Awareness that matters.

Tomorrow, the Calgary Tower will glow blue in recognition of National Dystonia Awareness Month.

“I first discovered yoga as a child and carried my practice into university. But after graduating nursing school at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I dove into work and lost that connection to my mat.
Last summer, everything shifted. After months of searching for answers, I was diagnosed with dystonia affecting the muscles in my face and jaw. What felt like loss became a return—back to my breath, back to my practice, back to Mat.

Yoga has become my path - guiding me into stillness, resilience, and intention. At Yoga Santosha, I’ve been held in support as my practice continues to deepen.

Each inhale - nourishment. Each exhale - grounding.” ~ Kendra

We are honored to share Kendra’s story as part of our community. May we raise awareness and together.
