Philosophy Discussion group

Namaste All,
In speaking with a few students it was decided that a philosophy discussion group would be a nice addition to our classes. We spend a lot of time last year chatting and sharing on zoom and it became a great support for some of us. We will shoot to meet once a month, or so, beginning with this coming Monday evening at 7pm. I will present a yogic teaching, a few minutes of meditation and the rest of the time will be sharing. Let me know if you are interested in joining us. Please register using the link below so I know if you are coming. https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUtcOqvrj4tEtGtS6YKkk9SQjPip9E6Vlv4
(There is no charge for this group (donations accepted thru venmo if called to)
Also, we have an on going book club that meets once a month or so. If you are interested in joining us our next meeting is July 15th at 7pm and we just began reading The Chelsea Girls by Fiona Davis which proves to be an entertaining read. Here’s the link to join the Book Clubz group. https://bookclubz.com/clubs/21922/join/5810d8/
Shanti!!

Greetings dear yoga students,
“She began to realize that identifying her practice with things that could be lost [advanced postures or deep states of meditation], would always leave her 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 she realized the only security lay in using her yoga practice to tether her awareness to the part of herself that was and is eternal. ” Donna Farhi

Avidya – Spiritual Ignorance
Asmita – Ego – Persona -False Self
Raga – Attachment to Pleasure
Dvesa – Aversion to Pain
Adhinivhesa – Fear of Death/Loss
These Kleshas or misperceptions 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 these 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. The yoga sutras tell us that if we are aware of these Kleshas at the root, and Do not allow them to take hold in our psyches, we can release their power. Finding rest within the eternal part of ourselves illuminates the truth that uncertainty is a core part of our existence. This understanding is the key that gives us the courage to see through false promises and lack of control so we can ultimately let go to live with freedom, peace and joy!

Yoga this week – June 6,2021
Practice and detachment are the means to still the movements of consciousness. BKS Iyengar

Greetings dearest yoga students,
Adhyasa and Vairagya are two of the most important pillars to our practice. They are known as two wings of the freedom bird and also can be considered the HA (Active) & THA (Receptive) sides of our Hatha Yoga Practices. Abhyasa (Practice): Perservering in your practice. Staying with it even when obstacles arise.. Committing to staying with your spiritual practices over a long period of time is the only way to experience transformation. Vairagya (Detachment) : Learning to systematically let go your attachments to impermanent things. To be content with the process and not the reward. It is duly defined as being non-attached to material gains and to focus your awareness on the spiritual, lasting goals you sincerely value in your life.
