YOGIC TEACHINGS

Here’s a fun question…. What is your go-to yogic teachings “off the mat”?  

A few come to mind: “patience”, “acceptance”–that’s a big one–or “giving of oneself”, all of which read nice on paper and can be much more difficult to put into practice.

Genuine yoga practice is something we live into rather than something to “do.”  

Layer by layer yoga reveals hidden and not so hidden tendencies and invites to apply the principles of “patience”, “acceptance” and so forth to living circumstances.

Overtime, leaving no stone is left unturned.

Baba Hari Dass used to say “climbing is hard and slipping is easy.”  It takes a bit of determination to live into one’s higher virtues, to apply yogic teachings in daily life.  But the alternative also comes with its price.

So, what is your go-to yoga practice off the mat?
