Greetings!
SvaroopaŽ yoga is transformational. Core opening supports a direct experience of the ease of being. Through the release of tension: physical, mental and emotional, your awareness is free to go inward and rest. We can open all the way through as we see what is arising within us. Life moves through this opening. Any sticky or crunchy places continue to be smoothed out with a regular practice. To see how your practice is going you can look at your life.
Ahimsa- Non- Harming
"The principle of ahimsa is already built into your poses and your Ujjayi Pranayama. It's nothing that you have to add to your practice. You need to add it to your life. One way you can see how you are doing with ahimsa is to watch your driving habits. How are you behind the wheel?" - Swami Nirmalananda
Transitioning into this spring season can spark a reflection and conscious intention for what we breathe life into, re-aligning with what we want to enliven, inside and outside! This is an opportunity to bring the clarity you receive as one of the benefits of SvaroopaŽ yoga to your conscious intention for your practice, your relationships, your work, how you relate to service providers or a bill collector.
A reminder about relapse.....
It's real and sometimes seems more like circumstances aren't going quite your way, other people are uncooperative, or physical symptoms return. Relapse occurs when we have an opening and then the body wants to contract again. So, in a sense it's good, it means you've released tension. This is why we talk about the regularity of your practice. Relapse can look like crankiness or even meanness according to Swamiji, and it can show up in the darndest of places. We'll be talking more about this in class.
