“Satya or truth is the highest rule of conduct o

“Satya or truth is the highest rule of conduct or morality. Mahatma Gandhi said: ‘Truth is God and God is Truth.’....If the mind thinks thoughts of truth, if the tongue speaks words of truth and if the whole life is based upon truth, then one becomes fit for union with the Infinite. Reality in its fundamental nature is love and truth and expresses itself through these two aspects. The yogi’s life must conform strictly to these two facets of Reality...Satya presupposes perfect truthfulness in thought, word and deed.”

“The yogi fears none and none need fear him, bec

“The yogi fears none and none need fear him, because he is purified by the study of the Self. Fear grips a man and paralyses him. He is afraid of the future, the unknown and the unseen. He is afraid that he may lose his means of livelihood, wealth or reputation. But the greatest fear is that of death. The yogi knows that he is different from his body, which is a temporary house for his spirit. He sees all beings in the Self and the Self in all beings and therefore he loses all fear.”

“I want you to know how much I’ve enjoyed your classes and I want to thank you for all your guidance, support, friendship, teachings, etc!! I am so grateful to have found you and been able to learn and study yoga under your leadership. You have a great gift of explaining poses and offering substitutions that is so helpful. Mostly it’s your upbeat spirit, love of life, kindness, openness, compassion (I could go on and on) that drew me, and I’m sure draw others, to your classes. You bring a sense of community and an element of humor to the practice that I’ve loved. This with your knowledge of the body and your thoughtfulness in how to explain the poses in the best possible way for your students to understand so that they get the most benefit is truly such a gift that I hope you’ll be able to continue to keep giving throughout your life and career! You keep it very “real” and fun.”

I love reading the ✨ Introduction to Light On Yo

I love reading the ✨ Introduction to Light On Yoga by B.K.S. Iyengar. It settles my mind when it's scattered and gives me hope. Here are a few notes on Ahimsa and the 8 Limbs of Yoga. This is all pulled from the Introduction (edited for brevity.)

Ahimsa (the first Yama)
A -not
Himsa - killing or violence
“It is more than a negative command not to kill, for it has a wider positive meaning, love. This love embraces all creation for we are all children of the same Father - The Lord.” p. 31

“Men take to violence to protect their own interests - their own bodies, their loved ones, their property or dignity. But a man cannot rely upon himself alone to protect himself or others. A man must rely upon God, who is the source of all strength. Then he will fear no evil. Violence arises out of fear, weakness, ignorance or restlessness. To curb it what is most needed is freedom from fear.” p. 32

Backbends promote courage and confidence.

The Stages of Yoga or the 8 Limbs of Yoga:
Yama - ethics for society
Niyama - ethics for individual
Asana - posture
Pranayama - control of breath
Pratyahara - withdrawal from the senses and external objects
Dharana - concentration
Dhyana - meditation
Samadhi - superconscious state uniting individual and universal consciousness
