Join me in learning more about yourself, how you relate to the world around you, and how the principles of yoga can help you find balance, meaning, and peace. I will be using the book, Living the Sutras by Kelly Dinardo and Amy Pearce-Hayden, as well as resources from my personal training courses and study. You do not need to purchase the book to participate in this journey, however, you are welcome to if you want to dig a little deeper.
You will need a journal. This could be as simple as a notebook. Also, get yourself some fun, colorful pens. Commit to participating in this journal journey each week. I will post new prompts each weekend. You are welcome to share your thoughts right here, on this blog, as well as in your personal journal. I am looking forward to this journey with you. Thank you for joining me! Week 1 "Yoga is the mastery of the mind's fluctuations." (1:2) "When the mind is steady and calm, we know our true nature." (1:3) Our true self is who we are beyond all of the roles we fulfill, all of the hats we wear, and all of the labels we have. Our true nature is express by our core beliefs, values, and passions. When we know and express our true self, we experience peace and clarity. The Yoga Sutras begin by defining yoga as mastery over the multitude of thoughts and fluctuations of the mind. When our thoughts are jumping from one place to another, we don't have peace. Our words and actions follow our mind. We are scattered. When we quiet the mind, we can be truly attentive to our lives, connect with who we really are, find our purpose, and feel peace. Journal Activity Set a timer for 5 minutes and list as many words as you can think of that define you and describe you. Feel free to share thoughts below, message me directly, or ask any questions. -Namaste, Erin
