Inner Peace

Note--The format of this Class Blog has changed a number of times and has had a number of different focuses. It has been moving in the direction of offering direct practice suggestions for you to do at home. This takes a lot of extra time and effort on my part, and to my understanding it is only used by a handful of folks. Also, I only post once a week in this blog so there's not a lot of variety for your home practice. In order to offer a more complete and useful tool for a home practice, I am completing my book, Home Yoga, which can be used as a valuable aid in your practice at home.

This blog will be an overview of the theme with perhaps a few words about what we worked with in hopes to spark a broader view of Yoga and the value of your practice.

Now onto this week's entry....


Many students are looking for inner peace, calm, relaxation, reduced stress, and/or less anxiety. As a friend of mine said,

"You can only give water if there is water in the well."

If you are peaceful, then your family may find calmness. If your family is calm, then your community may be more caring. If communities are more caring, then the nation may be more nurturing. If nations are nurturing, then the world may be at peace.

So, if you want peace in the world, then take time to nourish and replenish yourself--such as with a Yoga practice.

This week, we make peace with our hips by learning how to move from the hip joint instead of the pelvic bowl, knee, and back.


Namaste,
