Starting our Sunday practice with the breath of Yoga.

Sutra 2.49
Yasmin sati shvasaprashvasayorgativicchedah prana ayamaha

That [firm posture] being acquired, the movement of inhalation and exhalation should be regulated. This is pranayama.

The first two words of this sutra aer important. Tasmin sati means that the practice of pranayama will be fruitful only after we have acquired some master of the first 3 limbs of Yoga. Mastery of yama settles our conscience and brings us into good relationships with others. Mastery of niymaa cultivates a spiritual mindset in us, directing our most vital energy toward internal growth.
Asana, the 3rd limb, teaches us stillness in the body. It allows us to master restlessness and be physically comfortable in our bodies, enabling us to sit quietly and for some time.
All of these practices move our bodies and minds out of mechanical, ego-driven living and into the more subtle realms of body, mind and spirit.

Sharath on a guru:

A guru shows how to use them [asana] to discover this brighter lightness, which is called nana. The asana is only part of it. We have to come together and practice and go towards this. If students don’t know how to use the tools it will be a disaster.
It’s only through a guru, your teacher, that any knowledge is transferred. Many people put up yoga videos on You Tube, but they don’t connect with people. Everyone wants to copy each other. Many people today want to write a book. They copy pieces from other books and paste it into their own book. They copy and paste that’s all. People live a copy-and-paste life. There is no experience in that. They want to copy someone else’s life because it looks good or sounds nice, and paste it into their life. They watch videos to see how to do asana, but they do not experience the teaching or energy of their guru. They do not experience real life. If energy is not developed with your guru, you don’t have the connection. Many things are lost. Many things are diluted. Without this, you don’t get to experience the real yoga.
On tour, I try to give students insight into an authentic practice in the way I know. I try to present it in my own way.

Honoring Sharath and his teachings.

As the season changes - it brings vibrant colors to the trees and a charge in the air. The sun rises later, sets sooner and the trees will begin to loose their leaves. Much like the leaves falling from the trees this time of year, the month of November is a month of transition. During this time, we are encouraged by our practice and teachings to let go of what no longer serves us, making space for growth and renewal. As we begin this transition and observe what no longer serves us, also look at what gives us a sense of renewal or allows us to grow. This might look like connecting with a group for coffee after practice, checking out one of the many books we have available for you, join in on a book study or take a deeper dive into your practice with some of the upcoming opportunities that will begin soon.

While transitions are sometimes uncomfortable, they can be navigated with a sense of grace and support with our practice and within our community. Focus on the practice mindfulness - stay present in the moment and even consider joining in our Sunday morning pranayama. Create a daily routine if you haven’t already. Be patient with yourself. Recognize that transitions take time and be open to adjusting your goals as well take time to reflect on the transition and the lessons you’ve learned. Use this experience for personal growth
