🍁🧡Gratitude is often experienced from a mental perspective as a practice. Scanning your life to find something you are thankful for is valuable.
Yoga, however, proposes something different. Yoga’s practices promote a physical, mental/emotional, and energetic release. This letting go brings you to a deeper dimension within yourself. A dimension beyond the mind stuff which is the core of your being. Yoga calls it Hrdayakasha - The Space of the Heart. From this deeper vantage point your perspective changes, and how you see everything changes too. You begin to recognize every aspect of your life as an expression of your highest Self. My teacher .nirmalananda describes Self as The One being all while being you.
Under this perspective gratitude becomes more than a prescribed practice. It becomes the way you perceive every aspect of your life.
Come join me for this exploration!🍁🧡

“Shiva has become you, a limited individual, for a two-folded purpose: to have experiences and to rediscover your own Shivaness, your own Self.” ~ Gurudevi “Embodied Consciousness” January 2024 Teaching Article💟🕉️💟

Dear Ones,

I’m beyond honored to again host Paul Livingstone and ensemble here in my yoga space at home for another magical evening of music! Please see details of this concert on the flyer below.

I had the pleasure of hosting the amazing talent of Paul Livingstone (on sitar), his wife Alma Cielo (on sarangi and tamboura), and Miles Shrewsbery (on tabla) back in August. We were then full to capacity and the audience was transported by their musical skills and artistry. On their return to San Diego in November, they will be joined by cellist Peter Jacobson for another unforgettable performance.

Sangam is the chamber music duo of Paul and Peter, they’ve been recording and touring together for more than 18 years and have featured in several Grammy award-winning records.

I hope you will join us for this opportunity to appreciate these incredibly gifted musicians!

Space is limited so please RSVP soon. Upon receiving your RSVP, I’ll send you more information on how to send in your donation to save your spot.

I hope to see you here!

Much love to all,🙏
Soraya

Can you hear ☀️SUMMER ☀️calling?!? The beach,🏖️the hikes🥾, the Summer vacation trips🛫🚗. I hope you get to enjoy all of that while remaining steadfastly connected to your yoga practice.🛜 If you have to miss a class or two,🤷🏻‍♀️practice on your own! ⏳Got a moment at the airport (like Swami Prajñananda in the pics), in the plane, on the trail, in your hotel room?⏰Take the time for some asanas, breathing, or a short meditation to reboot. Be creative with the space and props available and improvise. You will be surprised with the ingenious and fun solutions you will come up with.✨💡✨When you discover how portable/adaptable your yoga practice is, you realize you don’t have to stay away from it. Consistency is important. The truth is: 🔁the more you show up for your practice, the more your practice shows up for you.🔁 Pic. credit to: Swami Prajñananda Saraswati 🙏🧡🙏
