Our theme of the week is Aparigraha, which is one of the Yamas (restraints).⠀

Aparigraha can be translated as non-attachment. When things don’t go as we thought, wanted, or hoped they would, we are faced with a choice. Do we cling to the outcome we were attached to, or is it possible to pivot to the new reality?

When we operate from clinging to our attachments, our experience can be painful and full of suffering. When we are able to practice non-attachment, it doesn’t mean we simply let go of our wants and desires, but instead open ourselves to other possibilities.

Aprarigraha offers the question, if this is how it is, what now?

YTT FAQ 1: Is teacher training only for those who are interested in teaching yoga?

No! If you are interested in teaching, the RPY Teacher Training Program will give you the skills to teach a complete yoga practice, AND it is so much more than that!

This program will teach yoga history, philosophy, and a comprehensive understanding of the many practices of yoga.

Our pose of the week is Half Moon, or Ardha Chandrasana 🌓 Ardha = Half
Chandra = Moon

Half moon pose is a great blend between strength and suppleness as it requires a strong foundation and open hips to perform the posture well. Grounding through the standing leg will provide the foundation to open the body through lifting the upper hip, and as the moon does, reflect as much light as it can. The gaze turning to the ceiling also encourages practitioners to let go and be ok with things being upside down.

Our theme of the week is Sauca ✨

In the long, full days of Summer many of us tend to abandon our routines, regular schedules, and, oftentimes, the practices that keep us grounded.

Sauca is one of the Niyamas (observances) of the 8 Limb Path/yoga practice. Sauca can be translated as cleanliness. While yes, it is important to maintain proper hygiene, this also pertains to our thoughts, actions, and general mental clarity. When we put our attention on Sauca we are invited to clean up our space, both external and internal.

A couple of questions to focus on this week are:
– What parts of my day are leaving me feeling healthy, clear, and grounded?
– What do I need to add in or take away to feel a deeper connection to myself?

Pose of the week: Airplane, or Dekasana
Deka = Airplane 🛩️

Airplane pose creates lightness in the lifted body by first laying a solid foundation through the standing leg.

This pose also cultivates overall strength while integrating the torso, hips, and legs over the plane of gravity.

Our theme of the week is TAPAS!

The Sanskrit word Tapas can be translated in a number of ways. This week, we are focusing on Tapas as the resulting heat of self-discipline.

Our yoga practice can serve as a direct representation of our ability to be challenged. Consider a pose that is difficult or uncomfortable for you. What is your reaction when that pose is called in class? Rather than skipping it and reinforcing the story you have about that particular pose, can you take even the smallest step toward the posture?

When we kindly and safely dip a toe into discomfort, we can use the heat of tapas to transform our fixed stories and ways of being.

Twisted Crescent Lunge, or Parivrtta Anjaneyasana, is a variation of crescent lunge that encourages length and openness in the spine and shoulders. This pose can be challenging as it works the entire body while also creating a sense of lightness and clearing.

Tune in later this week for a breakdown of this pose ✨

Our theme of the week is Asteya, or non-stealing, which is one of the Yamas on the 8 Limb Path.

Have you ever had the experience of driving somewhere on auto-pilot and remembering nine or only parts of the trip there? This is a fine example of Asteya, as we are, in those moments, stealing the gifts of the present by putting our attention elsewhere.

The next time you drive, connect with loved ones, go for a walk, or step on your mat, I invite you to notice when you are and are not present in the moment. No judgment, just a noticing...

Whether sitting at a desk all day or running marathons, the muscles that rotate the hip joint can shorten and tighten if not stretched out regularly. The gluteal and other hip muscles are a notorious storehouse for tension. Half Pigeon, or Ardha Kapotasana, can lengthen and bring relief to the hips as your asana practice slows down. When this pose doesn’t feel good, try on Figure Four!

Pose of the week: Halfway Lift, or
Ardha Uttanasana

Halfway Lift stretches the calves and hamstrings, while strengthening the back and abdominal muscles. This is a posture that links Uttanasana (Forward Fold) to other postures, allowing the spine to return to neutral before changing position.

In Sarvangasana, the whole body is supported by the shoulders. This creates an opening in the shoulders and stretches the neck.

You’ll always find Shoulder Stand at the end of our practice due to its cooling and calming nature. This pose helps to balance the parasympathetic nervous system and prepares you to “rest and digest”.

POSE OF THE WEEK: SAVASANA or Co**se Pose

Savasana, or Co**se Pose, is always our final pose in the yoga practice. Just as Child’s Pose marks the birth of the yoga practice, Co**se Pose marks the end of the asana or life cycle. This posture, as is Child’s Pose, is always available to you at any time.
