Surrender Into Yourself
August 18, 2013 from 10am to 1pm
Hotel de la Paix

11.46 Sthira Sukham Asanam.
Asana should be firm, steady and stable yet comfortably established in good space.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

The ancient yogis stated that the quality of our relaxation (savasana) is a direct refection of the quality of our yoga practice (sadhana). A practice that is steeped in steadiness, firmly engaging the mind and the body and grounded with intention and the fullness of the present moment, is what the Sages called sthira. This steadiness, when coupled with the flow of one’s breath, taking a comfortable seat in our own skin and finally surrendering to the Now, gives way to a feeling of lightness, ease and joy, known as sukham.

111.43 Kaya akashayoh sambandha samyamat laghu tula samapatti chakasa gamanam.
By samyama (concentration, meditation and enlightenment) on the relation between the earth element of the body and the lightness of space, the mind travels through a-cotton like feeling to where the true Self shines.

Through the cultivation of balanced asana, precise alignment, integrated breath and mindfulness, our relaxation (savasana) will take us to that place of remembrance (smarana) of your true infinite nature.

This 3 hour workshop is open to all levels and will include asana, pranayama, meditation and of course, savasana.
