Atha Yoganusasanam.
With Great LOVE and respect, now the blessings of Yoga instruction are offered.

Yogah citta vrtti nirodhah.
Yoga is experienced in that mind which has ceased to identify itself with its vacillating waves of perception.

Episode 17--Ahimsa & Satya for the Holidays

Namaste, dears. Winter solstice is upon us. Whether this indicates the return of the light (Northern Hemisphere) or the return of the night (Southern Hemisphere) or same light (Equator), it is a wonderful time to look back at the past quarter and meditate on what you will carry forward and what you will leave behind. In my part of the world, we are in the midst of our winter holidays. This time of year can bring up many old patterns of thought and behavior as we revisit people and places. Today's class is inspired by the first of the yamas (restraints, in Sanskrit, which is the first limb of the eight-limbed path): ahimsa (non-violence) and satya (truth). This is a strong level 2 class. If you are a beginner, I suggest practicing Episode 7, 9 or 13. May your holiday be blessed with the tandem gifts of non-violence and truth, and may you be an inspiration for others to practice the same.
