Sweet doves,
We’ve come to our third and final podcast in this series on the foundations of practice. (You can revisit the first two here & here.)
As a reminder, these foundations come to us from 2.1 of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali:
tapah svadhyaya ishvara-pranidhana kriya-yogah
The foundations of the yoga of action consist of tapas (self-discipline), svadhyaya (self-study) and ishvara pranidhana (dedication to god-consciousness).
2.1
This class focuses on ishvara pranidhana, dedication to god-consciousness. Of course, this is totally fraught, since religions all over the world throughout time have limited our understanding of god with words and specific attributions. In this class, I invite you to move beyond what others have told us of god, to expand into a dedication to love. Love requires trust. Trust requires love.
Thank you, always, for being here.
Deepest bows. Deepest love.
