"The practitioner will succeed; the non-practitioner will not. Success in Yoga is not achieved by merely reading books. Success is achieved neither by wearing the right clothes nor by talking about it. Practice alone brings success. This is the truth, without a doubt."

"Isvara is a distinct, incorruptible form of pure awareness, utterly independent of cause and effect, and lacking any store of latent impressions.
Its independence makes this awareness an incomparable source of omniscience.
Existing beyond time, Isvara was also the ideal of the ancients.
Isvara is represented by a sound, Om.
Through its repetition its meaning becomes clear.
Then interiorization develops and obstacles fall away."

-The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

The Self cannot be attained by one without strength, not through heedlessness, nor without an aim. Just as an unbaked earthen pot dissolves in water, the body soon decays. So bake it hard in the fire of yogic discipline in order to strengthen and purify it.”

“Yoga is to still the patterning of consciousness.
Then, pure awareness can abide in its very nature.
Otherwise, awareness takes itself to be the patterns of consciousness.”

“The yogi realizes that his life and all its activities are part of the divine action in nature, manifesting and operating in the form of man. In the beating of his pulse and the rhythm of his respiration, he recognizes the flow of the seasons and the throbbing of universal life.”
- Yoga and Advaita Vedanta teach that god is not only a being but also everything in existence. (If the concept of god is supreme, how could it not be so?) this means that god is space, time, the stars, earth, the air, the yoga mat. When we practice yoga we only attempt to realize that we are god, breathing in god (how could it not be so?). It’s also fun and great exercise kids! 😅👍

BKS Iyengar on the second Niyama - Santosa:

“Santosa or contentment has to be cultivated. A mind that is not content cannot concentrate. The yogi feels nothing so he is naturally content. There is contentment and tranquility when the flame of the spirit does not waver in the wind of desire.”

I feel that many people desire recreationally. If one’s mind is entertained by obtaining things then contentment will only exist in and of that pursuit and desire will only beget more desire. The key word in this quote is “cultivated”. If we begin to familiarize ourselves with a simple feeling of contentment for nothing in particular, we can begin a new cycle wherein contentment can be found more and more, easier and easier not only in our experiences but the pursuit of simple contentment itself.

Class schedule for this week:

Monday 5:30pm - Hatha at Yoga Barn
Tuesday 9:00am - Hatha at Monkey Republic

Come practice contentment with me!
