At the intersection of movement and consciousness, lives SAMARASA. SAMARASA’s mission is to provide a safe space, accessible tools and compassionate guidance to support true seekers in the transformative journey of self-discovery. Those who come to SAMARASA will learn to integrate self-realization into their daily lives through conscious use of their minds, bodies and hearts alongside others who h

ave chosen to embark on the same awakened path. Through SAMARASA’s various modalities, we provide conscious resources to a global community of seekers who desire access to authentic and approachable spiritual knowledge. A multidimensional, educational experience where individuals receive boutique knowledge that supplements navigating the peaks and valleys of everyday life. Yoga, Ta**ra and traditional eastern spiritual practice serve as the core essence of SAMARASA; a harmonious ecosystem that cultivates health and clarity on the physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. An open environment to study, share, support, purify the body and open the heart. A landscape that blends movement and stillness; form and the formless. A laboratory that forges gold, awakened by the fire of our inner desire to keep evolving.

What if you were enough?

What if you didn’t need to be anything more, do anything more, look different or change in any way whatsoever?

Could you love yourself just as you are right now?

Can you let go of every thought of “more” or “better” or “different” just for a few seconds to meet yourself with love, acceptance, compassion and understanding?

Today, this week, this month, this year, the invitation is to be soft and gentle with yourself, no matter what arises.

Everyone can identify with shame. It is universal.

At Samarasa, we believe that everyone is inherently worthy, no matter their past, their mistakes, or their perceived flaws. Shame may have clouded your sense of worth, but it doesn't define you.

Our teachings focus on empowering you to reclaim your self-worth. You are deserving of love, compassion, and acceptance. As we journey together, you'll learn that self-compassion is the antidote to shame. With the support of our community, you can step into your authentic self, free from the burdens of shame.

A mantra for November 🍂

"Embrace Change, Find Gratitude."

November is a month of transition, where the autumn leaves fall and make way for new beginnings. This mantra encourages us to welcome change with an open heart and to cultivate gratitude for the experiences, lessons, and opportunities that come our way.

This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse invites you to shed light on your shadow self, as the earth shadows the moon.

Do you ever get a feeling after holding a certain pose like it's unlocked something within you?

In YSD, we explore how to capture the energy that certain poses create within the body to our benefit.

That prana, that life force is not to be ignored.

Beautiful words from Emma Baker.

"It's hard to find words to describe the impact that Samarasa has had in my life. I have learned the power of discipline, accountability, connection and community. With the support of this community and the guidance of Susan, I have uncovered pieces of myself I didn't know were safe to be with. Samarasa has provided a container to do that, be with all parts of self, with others. I show up several times a month to put down all of the things I think I need to be and do. I listen, laugh, cry, sit and just be with the radiance of this community. No expectations. No agendas. No goals. Only Love."

Our postures aren't just physical; they're powerful gateways to the mind and emotions. The way we hold our bodies can influence our mood, attitude, and even our perception.

Explore the fascinating connection between body and mind. Next time you find yourself feeling a certain way, take a moment to check your posture – you might just discover the key to a mood shift.

It cannot be underestimated how powerful silence can be.

Silence is our greatest teacher. Stillness is the only teacher. Because in those moments of silence, that is the truth.

In the words of Donna Farhi, 'Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.'

At Samarasa Center, we invite you to bring yoga to life, not just as a physical practice but as a holistic journey of self-transformation and self-discovery.

Each time you step onto the mat and into your authentic self, explore the depths of your being, cultivating a mindful union of body, mind, and spirit.

Through self-inquiry, meditation, and conscious living, you'll uncover your own unique path back to your truest self.

Share in the comments below how yoga has brought profound shifts to your life.

Nirvana is resting in the 'I Am.' We momentary experience it when we fulfil a desire. Upon attainment, seeking ceases, and the mind experiences a blissful release. Happiness arises not from the object gained but from the quieting of the seeking mind. 🌟 #Nirvana #MindfulLiving #InnerPeace #RupertSpira #SamarasaCenter

If you want to see your blind spots (or your unconscious “no”) just look to your judgments of other people. These judgments hold the key. #shadowwork #byronkatie

Byron Katie wisdom drop 🌟 By applying the 4 questions of 'the work,' we liberate ourselves from the grip of our thoughts and beliefs, allowing us to stop arguing with reality. Self-inquiry leads us to the truth, discerning what is real from what is not. Let's embark on a journey of inner exploration and discovery. 💭💫 #ByronKatie #TheWork #SelfInquiry #SamarasaCenter

🌟 Ladies, let's talk about something not often discussed - relieving lower back and hip pain. My top go-to remedy: internal connective tissue massage using a pelvic wand. This is a game changer, releasing tension in the hips and low back, while also enhancing pleasurable intimacy. Learn more about this and other techniques in the Yoga, Sex + Death retreats. Hoping this helps someone out there! 💫 #PainRelief #PelvicWand #YogaSexDeath #Samarasacenter

Believing our thoughts leads to suffering, while releasing their hold brings liberation from pain. 🌟 Opening the eye of awareness prevents the ego from asserting itself, leaving only pure presence in its wake. #LiberationFromThoughts #PurePresence #AwakeningJourney #ByronKatie #Inquiry #Samarasacenter

Post YSD retreat, one of our Samarasa members @lizzie_tee, reflected on how she was effortlessly moving through the world. ✨ This newfound fluidity arose as we confronted and examined the mental chatter and beliefs we clung to, realizing the immense effort required to sustain them. When you just hold space for it, from a place of awareness, you allow it to just flow and move through. 💫 #YSDJourney #Retreats #EffortlessLiving #ConsciousAwakening #Samarasacenter

In this reel, Gangaji guides us into the heart of surrender, where love's essence unfolds. Yes, there may be pain, but therein lies freedom. Protecting your heart from pain can lead to suffering. Embrace life's openness - whether pain or joy - and find true surrender. 💖 #EmbraceVulnerability #SurrenderToLove #Gangaji #Samarasacenter
