“Effort and surrender are like two wings of a bird. Both are necessary for a smooth and joyful flight.”

Our first Yoga Intensive for 2017 delves into the power of “Awakening Abhyāsa” and starting our year as we mean to go on. Abhyāsa relates to the ways we devote ourselves to the living practice of yoga, and traditionally refers to the constant and consistent commitment to our practice over a long period of time – so if you have found your practice becoming inconsistent in the past, this is the time to make a shift and embark on 2017 from a space of renewed dedication.

The most challenging part of Abhyāsa is devotion to our Sadhana (spiritual practice) without expectation or forcing of a desired outcome.  The seeds of the practice will bear fruit – of that there is no doubt – however non-attachment, or Vairagya, must also be present. It takes courage to let go of the many attachments we have created in our modern western world. It is only through this dedication to the Self that allows the true teachings of yoga to come to life – not just on the mat but also in our daily lives, our relationships with others and the ever-changing relationship we have with ourselves.

“You must give everything to make your life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in your imagination.” – Roman Payne

This Yoga Intensive will bring to life these philosophical precepts along with the balance of effort and surrender, experienced through a challenging yet energizing vinyasa series followed by guided relaxation, chanting and sealing the practice with the stillness of meditation.

Join us for a night of inspiration, sacred practice, and establish a personal commitment to your own consistent practice for the year ahead in the knowing and trust it will be the one true anchor you have to keep you open and grounded as the teachings of year ahead unfold.

“Oil seeds must be pressed to yield oil. Wood must be heated to ignite it and bring out the hidden fire within. In the same way, the Sadhaka (student of yoga) must by constant practice light the divine flame within himself.” – B K S Iyengar
