Yoga Practice Word of the Day: Acceptance

Very yogic lesson; Open to Grace…

According to the Yoga sutras 1.12-1.16: there are 2 concepts ~

practice/persistance (ABHYASA) and non-attachment/letting go (VAIRAGYA) 

Practice leads you in the ‘right’ direction, while non-attachment allows you to continue the inner journey without getting sidetracked into the pains and/or pleasures along the way…

We tend towards thinking it is all about the body whereas the ‘goal’ of yoga is sattva/balance/peace…and cultivation of our innermost truest highest self…

acceptance
