Have you ever been asked to surrender your personal will?

Ishvara Pranidhana is the fifth Niyama — the internal ethics of Raja Yoga. It’s the surrender to something greater than oneself.

We could interpret this as surrender to a higher power, which is complicated enough, but what if we feel called to surrender to a cause or a shared vision?

How might our practice of Surrender change over time as we learn more about ourselves?

Through journaling, discussion and meditation, we’ll discover what Ishvara Pranidhana really means, both collectively and personally, and learn how we can deepen in our personal practice of surrender.

This is one minute of Pratyahara — the yogic practice of turning away from the external and toward the internal. ✨☺️ Focusing on our body, our internal state, and our breath.

I invite you to do this anytime during the day when you just. need. a minute.

Take it. Pause, breathe. Know that if you can do it now you can do it anytime.

And if you’d like to learn more ways to turn inward and slow the crazy pace of your mind, you can join me at Move & Meditate! 🧘🏾‍♀️ 8:30am -9:30am This Thursday (and every Thursday) Studio34 Yoga | Healing | Arts . Link 🔗 to register is in my bio!

Don’t let anyone else’s limited thinking keep you from what is FOR YOU. We all have a dharma — a specific function and series of purposes in this life that are tailor made for us, within this larger collective work that we are doing.

This is yours to cultivate and carry out. And just because it didn’t work for someone else does not mean it won’t work for you. Perhaps they were out of alignment, moving toward some goal they THOUGHT was for them, but ultimately wasn’t their dharma. It doesn’t mean it’s not yours.

Protect your dreams. Don’t absorb everyone’s ideologies. And keep doing you! 💗

Love that yoga teachers in the West are starting to talk about the eight limb path (Ashtanga) yoga more, trying to tie asana to its broader context. Asana IS just one part of the path of Raja yoga and not a very big part of it, either. There are only 3 sutras dedicated to the practice of Asana in the yoga sutras and they are about how we come into a comfortable seat to prepare for meditation.

But even beyond the scope of Raja Yoga there exists Bhakti - the path of devotion. Jñāna - the path of knowledge, and Karma yoga - the path of action.

If you’ve been practicing for any length of time, I’m sure thee are ways you’ve incorporated these paths without even knowing it, or been initiated into one or the other without the awareness of what was happening. So, let’s talk about the other paths of yoga and how they can aid us in finding greater liberation!

Did you know about these paths? Have you ever practiced them?

Join me for OFF THE MAT! A three-part series where we dive into the meaning of MIND in the Yoga Sutras (and other supporting philosophical texts).

Yoga Sutra 1.2 says "Yogas Chitta Vritti Nirodha", defining yoga as the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind.

These days, most of society lives in a constant state of overstimulation or anxiety. Our minds are full, often debilitatingly so.

Through discussion, meditation, and self-inquiry, we'll deepen our relationship to our minds and learn how to find greater mental clarity and peace. 🙏🏾✨

Join me at Studio 34 Yoga | Healing | Arts on Friday, November 14th for a workshop on managing busyness, maintaining boundaries, and preventing burnout.

In this time when so much is happening that’s outside of our control, we must learn how to keep from crashing due to overwhelm. We must learn how to continue our work without crumbling from constant activation in our nervous system.

Come and learn a combination of yogic principles and practices that can help you maintain equilibrium in the midst of chaos. Come Take A Breath with me!
