What are the Yama's? The five yamas—kindness, truthfulness, abundance, continence, and self-reliance—are oriented towards our behaviours and allow us to coexist harmoniously with others. 

 

During our practice, we are next delving into the final and 5th Yama-Aparigraha. 


Aparigraha is about not grasping for what is not yours. Jealousy is probably the biggest form this plays out in our culture today. Just catch yourself with that awareness before you delve into jealous or envious thoughts about others. This can especially be applied within our asana practice. Allow this to be a space to go inwards. Even if you are practicing in a large class, try not to compare yourself to others. Aparigraha is about working within your own capacity, your own body and not reaching and grasping for what others have. 

Accepting yourself for the amazing light and divine being that you are in each moment! 

Tuesday night, we will work this Yama on the mat @ Yoga Peace Mullumbimby 5.30-7pm. 

Just remember this is also a practice to play with outside in the world!

Blessings, 
Seriya x

“Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating; the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to. ”

~ Sogyal Rinpoche

“As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. You’re not thinking about loving; you’re just being love, radiating like the sun.”

~ Ram Dass

"The Guru is within you, not here. Guru is not outside. Guru awakens that knowledge that is within you."
