From the outside looking in, yoga appears to be just a workout. It is so much more. It is a workout IN.
From the Yoga Sutras…1:1 Atha Yoga Anushasanam…loosely translated…
Now yoga begins…the teachings of yoga discipline…this effective system that attends to mind, body, soul.
I shared in class today all the adversities we as humans face right here within our community as well as all the joyful experiences. Our space is sacred, inclusive, supportive.
Once upon a time when I learned yoga was more than just a workout, I felt intimidated. How can I be sure I know what I am doing and how to guide people.
My teachers taught me, embody your practice, continue studying, don’t BS your way through anything, TEACH WHAT YOU KNOW.
This has been imprinted on my heart and is the quiet culture of our studio. And you can feel it.
My teachers are empowered, they don’t have to know everything, but they must, teach from experience and from their place of wisdom, and they do.
The support and care we offer is cultivated and we, I take it very seriously. Each and everyone of you, who come once in a while, daily, however frequently, I care for you as if you were my own, and because, you truly do, belong 🙏🏽💕
Happy New Year, may you ease into it from a state of rest, and may the year unfold with abundant blessings!
Love,
Jenny & Yoga Shala
