“Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life.” –B.K.S Iyengar #8limbsofyoga #yogaoffthemat #yogaphilosophy #yogajourney #yogalife #yogalove #yogaforeveryone #yogicpath

The great teachers say we are either on the cusp of a global awakening or destruction as a species. What does it mean to awaken? It means when the frightened, material self transcends to a higher consciousness; with awareness full of love & peace. The road to awakening may be bumpy and painful as you are challenged; hence the reason many resist it. It is not all sweetness and light because it also depends on integrating our dark side( all those difficult emotions that arise) and becoming whole, to the point we can identify with every other human on the planet and know we are all one; that we share the full spectrum of human traits & talents. And that there is no separation between us and the divine. A friend once laughed at me, saying “you are trying to awaken your family of origin. They don’t want to go there, so leave them asleep.” To stay asleep means one remains identified with body consciousness, materialism and the old beliefs of duality, secrecy, discrimination, hidden abuse etc. Only by trying to stand apart and transform oneself, sometimes amidst adversity will we succeed in changing the world. Be true to yourself. Speak up when necessary for yourself & others. Choose political leaders wisely. Namaste dear friends. ✨✨❤️ ————————————————— #higherconsciousness #shakti #love #peace #8limbsofyoga #buddhateachings #awakening #christconsciousness #christlike #divinefeminine #eckharttolle #powerofnow #anewearth #globalawakening #betruetoyourself #emotionalintelligence #healingthespirit #spiritconsciousness #nonduality #codependencynomore #meditate

We’ve come to know yoga as a physical practice. And it is. #doyoga What many don’t know, however, is the rest of the story. Asana, the yogic shapes, all those positions like downward facing dog, sun salutations and crow pose (to name only a few, there are thousands of them) gained popularity over the last century. They’re about as ancient as your Pilates mat class. #yogaphilosophy While the essence of yoga is thought to be timeless, it’s branding so to speak, has continually evolved over millennium. The current image of yoga is contemporary to say the least. #evolution The common denominator across this timeless expanse: yoga embodies an inherent malleability for adaptation. It’s a change agent and reflects the needs of its habitat. #love If you want guidance on your poses, however, no need to dig into the sacred texts. That whole emphasis on the perfect pose is a recent subset. You won’t find alignment tips from the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita or even Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. They offer little instruction about how to do a yoga pose, and there’s no mention of a mat. #yogamat In fact, even though asana is one of the 8 limbs, Patanjali (the master codifier of classical yoga and those 8 limbs) barely touches on it. In sutra 2:46, there’s a nominal shout out to explain that “the posture should be comfortable and stable”. And in the Gita , there’s a whole lot about the power of humility and faith but the only advice for the body is to hold the spine erect. #8limbsofyoga This isn’t meant to be a criticism of the current yoga. I’m hardly a naysayer. From “yoga for this” to “yoga for that” & the many styles in between, i love it all! I find so much joy in exploring all the physical shapes, linking them together, breathing into the story and creating flow (vinyasa). But I consider that only a fractal, I mean fraction of my yoga practice. #micromacro For me #yogaisamindset ... a peaceful sanctuary within, where I take my seat at the altar of life. #everythingisrelative What does yoga mean to you? #yogaisafeeling #yogamama #letloverule #gratefulheart #peacewithin #findcenter #yogaoffthemat

I feel ruined in the best way. I need to sit with the discomfort of participating in a practice that has perpetuated harm and ignorance. You can’t talk about modern vinyasa without talking about colonization. You can’t profit off of a white-washed, culturally appropriated system without taking a serious look at yourself and asking, “am I a part of the problem?” I am. I haven’t been doing enough. I haven’t been educating well enough. I haven’t been actively challenging the misuse of symbols, spiritual practices and misinterpretations of western “yoga” directly enough. It’s because I am a part of the problem. You are not a “bad person” if you’ve been doing these things, you’re just ignorant. And so am I. But ignorance can be dangerous. I have more to read, more to learn, more to digest than I ever thought before. I have a LONG way to go. But the best thing I can think to do is be honest with my students and those of you whom have decided to stick around. We need to de-colonize yoga. We need to challenge ourselves to do better instead of stealing from a culture we’ve already pillaged enough. . . . #decolonizeyoga #asana #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #8limbsofyoga #culturalappropriation #dobetter #bebetter #readmore . . . @brookemichellej

• What is yoga? I know, one of the most worn out questions in our community. Or is it...? I actually LOVE that question, because there is never a dull answer to it. The way I experience it, a very usual answer is “whatever you want it to be, it’s up to you. No one can question your yoga for being or not being yoga.” Here’s my question: do you agree? Is there a clear answer to what yoga is, or is it up to every practitioner to decide that? Do you have to do asana practice to be a yogi? Do you have to know the Gita? Do REAL yogis eat meat? Does your home smell of incense?! Please share! • I love philosophy discussions like this, and of course yoga philosophy is what’s closest to my heart. We have sooooo much yoga (as in asana practice) to choose from here in Stockholm, which is wonderful, but I miss a place to talk and discuss and learn more about the philosophy of yoga. So I started a group where I’ve invited everyone who’s interested to join me once a month to do just that; discuss and share our perspectives of yoga philosophy. To begin with, I’ll choose a subject and talk about it and give handouts to the participants and in the end of the session let the word free for us all to discuss it. If you’re in Stockholm, you’re more than welcome to join! The first meet-up is on Sunday the 18th of March. You’ll find all info on my Facebook page (link in bio). I hope to see you there, nerding out with me! ❤️ _________________________________ Awesome tee from @yogia.se. Because spiritual shit is my jam!

When I was traveling to Edinburgh, I pulled a ligament from getting up too quickly after sitting down at the airport. My daughter read me this piece by the philosopher Aldous Huxley, as she felt it was appropriate to my rushing around. There are some lines missing here where he says it was the best advice he ever received. My closest friend who travels quite a bit, tells me I should try the one bag challenge - that is to travel solely with a cabin bag. I have all sorts of excuses like “But I need to pack for unpredictable weather.” It is true that when we can walk unencumbered by baggage, it feels so free to be without a mobile phone and carry only a tissue. I love this poem and now say it like a prayer every day. It encourages me to move as I’ve been taught in Tai chi class. —————————————————— #aldoushuxley #golightly #gowiththeflow #spiritualgrowth #peaceistheway #nofear #noselfpity #movegracefully #nodrama #quantumshift #consciousness #meditation #mindfulness #8limbsofyoga #onebagchallenge #philosopher #writer #bravenewworld #wisdom —————————————————

How often do you practice a day? I practice yoga everyday but my physical asana practice is closer to 5 times a week. . I get asked this a lot because people tend to associate yoga with the physical asana but those terms are not interchangeable. There are 8 limbs of yoga and asana practice is just one of those limbs. . Photo by: @tridentvisions

Treasure those who who can give of themselves while expecting nothing in return. Such people have inner wealth and abundance. At the same time allow yourself to receive with grace and gratitude for many among us feel unworthy of receiving. Giving and receiving are circular; all part of the same cycle. When we give without expectation or attachment we receive much in return. I have learnt this lesson from my closest friends (& many of you here who prayed for me & sent me healing) for whom I am most grateful. They & You shall remain in my heart forever. Much gratitude.

The entire life is an open book, a scripture. Read it. Learn while digging a pit, or chopping wood, or cooking food. If you can’t learn from your daily activities how are you going to understand the scriptures? -Sri Swami Satchidananda, Yoga Sutras • We’re presented with opportunities to learn daily. From little to big, we choose whether or not we learn from them.
