Yoga this Week – February 22, 2016

“He [came to] realize that identifying his practice with things that could be lost [advanced postures & breath work, deep states of meditation], would always leave him susceptible to fear anything that could be taken away through sickness aging or life circumstances was not a very wise thing to stand on. It was then that he realized that the only security lay in using his yoga practice to tether his awareness to the part of himself that was and is eternal. It is in this tethering of awareness to the unchanging core of our being that true security can be gained….As our practice deepens and we gain confidence and courage, we develop a growing appetite for this groundlessness and we start to yearn for a more liberated and open experience of ourselves and we become more willing to let go of old hand holds.We start to feel a resolute commitment to real freedom & we become vigilant about things that offer the trappings of freedom but fall short of delivering the goods” Donna Farhi from Bringing Yoga to Life

Greetings dearest yoga students,

The above excerpt from Donna Farhi’s book is, in essence, describing what Patanjali wrote about in the Yoga Sutra’s called Kleshas. Kleshas are basically the core confusion of what is permanent with what is impermanent and the suffering we cause ourselves when we try to hold on to the impermanent things. We all have fear of losing things we hold dear. It may be loved ones, our jobs, our health, our strength, our physical appearance or the myriad of ego driven personas we believe ourselves to be. Finding rest within this “groundlessness” of living with the truth of uncertainty allows us to see through false promises, let go and live with freedom, peace and joy!

“Shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you? You are at your very best when things are worst” Starman

download (1)

Utkatasana (chair pose) exemplifies the amazing ability of the human spirit to rise up and find the strength, grace and power we didn’t even know we had. We have all had experiences where the bottom seems to fall out from underneath our life; a devastating phone call comes or some unexpected turn of events sends life into a tailspin. It is at precisely these times, when help seems to come out of nowhere; people organize themselves to help, families let go of their differences to work together for the common goal, friends come from all directions. It is at our worst, that we become our very best.

If you have a moment today, take chair pose for a few breaths. Breathe into the grounding at your feet, feel how your heart lifts and your hands reach up toward the sky. Embodying this powerful pose allows us to experience our own power and also the source of power around us that enables us to lift ourselves up and bask in the light and love that is always there. Thich Nhat Hahn says “No Mud, No Lotus” which means that we must go through the dark, the struggles, the sticky stuff to reveal our true beauty. In the depths of the winter, dig deep and reach high. Spring is surely on its way and we await its coming with joy, strength and resolve.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart. ~

Marcus Aelius Aurelius

Greetings dear yoga students,

Hoping this email finds you fostering a sense of grateful anticipation for the day and week ahead. Acceptance of life circumstances does not mean to give in, give up or throw in the towel. Acceptance is looking at what fate has brought to your door, examining the facts with an open heart and clear mind and then from deep within gather the courage to do what you need or do – which in some instances is the courage to do absolutely nothing. Whenever we are at odds with something, feel “off-kilter” or are experiencing anxiety, it usually can be traced back to our inability to accept what is happening in the present moment. Acceptance enables us to enjoy the scenery of our lives the way it is, even if it is not what we expected. So dive in to the present moment of your life today and meditate on the areas that you meet with resistance; breathe a compassionate breath, bless your circumstances, love the people who join you on your journey with all your heart and find the peace and serenity that comes with true acceptance.

faith-is-taking-the-first-step-even-when-you-dont-see-the-whole-staircase-19

Greetings dear Yoga students,

Martin Luther King, Jr. describes Ishvara Pranidhana perfectly in the above quotation. ; having Faith and surrendering to the process even when you don’t know where it will lead you. The fact is we really never have a guarantee that our plans will work out. I have experienced many times when fear led me to overthink, manipulate, and try to control every part of a situation, only to wake up to the fact that all I had to do was relax, trust and be open to the unfolding, which many times was more wonderful than I could have ever imagined! The yogic niyama, Ishvara Pranidhana calls us to let go and trust that there is a divine plan working along side you. Let go of results, trust the process and even when you don’t know where you are going, lift your foot and take that first step!

January 11, 2016 amyperri2 2 Comments

Greetings dear Yoga Students,

When you do your yoga practice, do it for more than the obvious physical benefits. Yoga gives us an opportunity to connect with that sacred self that lies beneath appearances, beyond belief systems and transcends even time. Yoga ignites our curiosity and expands our capacity for growth to help create a more meaningful, healthy and vital sense of living, not just for ourselves, but for all we come in contact with.

“What’s Done is Done”

Shakespeare

Happy New Year Dearest Yoga Students,

Do not allow yourself to get stuck in the past. What has happened is already gone. Like the wake of a boat, it is behind you and does not have to define or determine the direction you will take. Let go and allow what has happened to shape your future on its own. Everything that has happened has led you to this moment. You cannot change the past, you can look and learn but in the end you must let go and set your sights on the future. Although the future is there wide open for anyone to change, we have a tendency to hang on to the unfulfilled wish to change the past and live with the mantra, “If only”… this simply is wasted energy. What’s done is done…. direct your energy to the future: meditate in the present, make plans, set intentions, transform your intentions into actions and let go of anything holding you back from creating the life you were meant to live….YOU are the one you’ve been waiting for!

Never give up. No matter what is going on. Never give up.

Be compassionate. Not just with your friends but with everyone. Be compassionate.

And I say again, Never give up. No matter what is going on around you. Never give up. Never give up.

-The Dalai Lama

Sometimes we feel as if we can’t go on. The mountain is too big, the task too daunting, the yoga pose too difficult, the situation too unmanageable. It is always helpful to remember that even the most incredible tasks begin by taking the next or first step, however small or insignificant that step may seem, it is a step forward non the less. Even if it means stepping back, collecting your thoughts, formulating a plan or just taking repose. Keeping our minds on the action we need to take and letting the result rest in the hands of the universe, allows us to be in the present moment, even in difficult times. You are enough, you have everything you need to move forward. All you have to do is believe in yourself, let go of excuses and just begin.

Regular practice of yoga can help you face the turmoil of life with steadiness and stability”

“Yoga is the practice of observing clearly, listening acutely and skillfully responding to the moment with all the compassion we can muster”

Donna Farhi

Greetings dear yoga students,

Thank you for your continued dedication to your practice for it is you that will make this world a better place. By practicing the art of observing, listening and responding skillfully, you not only bring health and right action to those around you, but you also become a wonderful example of how a person can move through the world with integrity, kindness and love. A beautiful student remarked to me that being in class felt like a “homecoming” to her. Yoga is a homecoming; a homecoming and a connection to your body, your mind. your community and your true nature which has an amazing wellspring of intelligence, joy and compassion waiting just below the surface to shine!!
