Sometimes the first Yoga Sutra is considered just an intro, almost like the cover page to a book: now the explanation of yoga begins. But it can also be interpreted as the main instruction – you are practicing yoga (union) when you are present here and now.
On the surface, that sounds so simple, right?
But it doesn’t necessarily feel easy in real life to remain connected to NOW. Since most of us have spent decades training our minds to pay attention to the past & the future, it is a practice to ask the mind to stay connected to NOW.
I invite you to join me (Janie Ganga) for my monthly event Wisdom & Chill at Santosha Yoga – live via Zoom. This class combines Wisdom (Sutra 1.1) and Chill (yoga nidra). I use the Translation and Commentary of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Sri Swami Satchidananda as a starting point. I’ll share insights from my teachers in the I AM Yoga (Integrative Amrit Method of Yoga) tradition and my own lived experiences. And then I’ll facilitate an interactive conversation with the group about how we might apply this Sutra in everyday life.
For the second half of the class, you’ll lay down and get comfy for I AM Yoga Nidra – a fully-guided meditation for an integrative experience of NOW.
