In this section, you’ll find a selection of Yin classes from the last two years to practice
What is this energy that has the strength to push all nature out to its furthest extent, and yet weighs upon us? Observed in nature, fire is not a light element and its thrust like wood is strong.
When practising, if the core of our heart is shining forth its radiance, if we have honest relationships with others and other, embracing all beings and things into the core of our heart, then we wake up to the present moment.
It is here we find that we are able to penetrate into the depths of our own circumstances, right into the core of what we really feel. This is the beginning of joy, but of course like this practice, this is not always easy.
Within the yoga tradition, the gesture of offering salutations to others, be that a specific god, physical feelings and sensations, is a tool to bring awareness to direct experience in the present moment. Theses acknowledgments serve as reminders of the interconnected relationship of all beings and of all experiences. The salutations allow the mind to release its grip and at the same time, encourage the ‘I’ maker to release its grip also.. We open our capacity to experience the interpenetrating patterns of which we are an integral part and to feel the power of our breath as it relates to our mind.
We are always in Yoga invited to look deep inside our hearts, where we start to distinguish what it is in life that really matters.
The mind moves in many directions all at once with its never-ending supply of imagination and distraction, always trying to find a final reference point for each and every moment of experience.
If you look into the sensations in your body, or within the thoughts passing through awareness, or even at your yours hands with your eyes closed, it is hard after sometime, to find the actual location of yourself.
When we see that self-image is empty of basic reality, we are returned to pure awareness, the sense of watching, feeling, listening, without identifying with ourselves as the one who is sensing.
Even though I lost internet a NUMBER of times, this is a lovely fluid unfolding dance. Each phase unravelling into the next. This is one of the more vigorous Yang dances as we stir the warmth within us.
The aim of practice is to bring the feeling of discomfort to an end by facing Samsara. Samsara is literally describing a sense of being caught in a wheel that spins and spins, going around in circles. It is describing a life of frustration where we spend a great deal of energy but live a life that keeps taking us back into that state of suffering. Yet, we are unable to find our way out of that cycle.. Patanjalia says you have to keep coming back.
