April themes of my Flow & Restore yoga class:
🔺️ Raga (attachment) isn't just wanting; it’s the sticky attachment to enjoyable experiences that creates a cycle of craving. When we cling to how things should be, we lose the reality of how they are.
🌹We often turn to vices to fill a void or numb discomfort. Practice is about sitting in the space before the impulse. We aren't judging the vice; we practice the art of Aparigraha (non-attachment) and realize we are whole without it. Intention: I create space within myself for grace to enter.
🌁 In yoga, a bridge isn't just a destination; it’s the connection between two places. As we get older, we aren't leaving our younger selves behind; we are building a bridge, an internal span, that carries wisdom forward. Intention: I am the bridge between my past wisdom and my future growth. I move with the seasons, not against them.
🌳The concept of being steady: not as a rigid state, but as a place of abidance. In the Yoga Sutras, Sthira Sukham Asanam tells us that our posture should be both steady and comfortable. When we are truly steady, we abide in the present moment with a sense of fullness.
🌬Instead of focusing on breaking down walls, we focus on our expansive capacity, creating internal room to breathe, moving from physical tightness of the chest into the vastness of the breath. Intention: I soften my edges to let the light in.
Join me Thursdays at noon at HandyYoga_2.0 and come as you are. ✨️
