Episode 35-- SHINE! A look at Aparigraha.

Blessings, dears. 

 

This is episode 35 of the Sunrose Yoga Podcast with me, Kelly Connor.  Today’s class is about 40 minutes long, all levels.  Our philosophical focus of this class is aparigraha, non-possessiveness—one of the yamas.  I’ve been writing and talking about aparigraha quite a bit lately.  You can learn more about it at here on my blog, where I’m also in my last leg of the 30 day video blogging challenge.

Thank you all so so much for listening.  I appreciate your support and offer this practice up to you with deep gratitude.  I just read the most wonderful tweet from Deepak Chopra and feel it’s most appropriate given my feelings about this podcast:

 

I make my vocation my vacation. I know that I am following my bliss when my work is an act of love and devotion. Every day is a joy to live!

 

I actually have a bit of embarrassing news: I have been giving out the wrong phone number for months…on accident!  My google voice message line is ACTUALLY 503-583-2599.  Please call.  I update the outgoing message with something new all of the time~~ You don’t even need to leave a message, you can just call to listen.

Also, I have a teeny favor, since my birthday is coming up in June.  If you enjoy the podcast, could you take a moment to write a review of it in iTunes?  That would be fantastic! Thank you.

 

And so, with that.  I wish you peace on your path, love in your heart, and light in your eyes until we meet again and always, Namaste.
