hOMe of Yoga

A friend shared a quote recently on FaceBook and it made me think this is how I feel about the hOMe of Yoga, where i teach my yoga classes  ; here's the quote 

"When we feel at home in ourselves, we discover a power to create connectedness and wholeness for others. We discover the consciousness which lets us create home for others, wherever we may be. One word for this is love, but another is hospitality. Hospitality is the ability to reach out and embrace others in a spirit of home. We can do this from our dwelling place but we can also do it from our hearts and minds when we feel at home within ourselves. Hospitality is the power to share home so that no one is a stranger and home becomes not just a place to live but a spirit that embraces and lives within us all" ~ David Spangler , the Four Faces of Home

I certainly feel through my own journey through life that I have cOMe to experience connectedness within my self, acknowledging that I am part of and an expression of consciousness. As i humbling bow in gratitude to my sadhana, I share with others frOM my heart....

Practice with Intention ♡

It all begins with intention. Conscious change is composed of attention, awareness and intention...when you create a sankalpa or resolution you are SEEking change. Change requires effort, devotion and dedication.

Practice in sanskrit is abhyasa and intention is sankalpa. As we embraced or renewed our sadhana as the new year began, and made New Years resolutions or created a new sankalpa for our highest purpose. It seems as we move through the long month of January that our resolve can waver, obstacles appear or faith falters. -This is where practice is so valuable...

Abhyasa (practice) is a dedicated, unswerving, constant, and vigilant search into a chosen subject, pursued against all odds in the face of repeated failures, for indefinitely long periods of time. Practice implies a certain methodology, involving effort. It has to be followed uninterruptedly for a long time, with firm resolve, application, attention and devotion, to create a stable foundation for training the mind, intelligence, ego and consciousness. 

~ BKS Iyengar

I invite you to prACTice with intention, infused with discipline and devotion. Not justin January, but until your sankalpa blossOms and cOMes to full fruition. 

When you begin to move with the highest intention on the mat and you are grateFULLy invoking a sankalpa, the practice BEcOMes a ritualised prACTice frOM your heART. you then take this off your mat and into all your activities.

Yes the juicy, prana releasing vinyasas stretch your body and mind to becOMe stronger and more flexible, more importantly though, they give you the opportUNITY to step deeper into your essence of your heart, into the heART of Yoga allowing you to consciously plant more seeds of bliss (satcitananda)… 

A sankalpa is a self-enriching invocation, that is in service of something sacred. Yes we all have desires and there's nothing wrong with desires...We were all born out of desire!

"You are your deepest desire.

As your desire is, so is your intention.

As your intention, so is your will.

As is your will so is your deed.  

As you deed is, so is your destiny."

~ Brihadaranyaka Upanishad  IV.4.5

In the Upanishads, this is inviting us to see that through our actions and will, our desire determines our fate. When your deepest desire is in harmony with your soul's purpose, your destiny of who you are meant to be is fulfilled.

So when creating or using a sankalpa, acknowledge that your desire, your sankalpa ~ what you aspire to becOMe or to achieve, is in service to something much greater than you or your life. Also acknowledge that you are an expression of consciousness that permeates everything, then you BEcOMe one with the rhythm of the your life and the life of the Universe. this truly is devotional practice with intention from your heart.

Ask yourself, if you have made a sankalpa, why is this important? who is it serving? yes it will enrich my life yet how does it enrich my cOMmUNITY? 

This is my theme for YogaRelax Classes i invite all to join... are you ready to bring the meditation to motion? buckle up lets enJOY the ride, dancing with the Divine! 

Remember prACTice with intention...
