The book version of The Path of Light: Healing and Self Mastery through the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita is out now! Above is a sample from Chapter 2 titled From Separation to Oneness. Embark on a divine adventure from separation and suffering to unity and true nourishment with the Path of Light. In it you will explore 39 central teachings from the Bhgavad Gita: The Self, From Separation to Oneness, Karma, Dharma, The Three Gunas, Divine Will, Impermanence, Disciple, Equanimity, Service, Fulfilment, Wise Action, Inner Freedom, Love for All, Subordinate the Ego, An Equal Eye, The One and the Many, The Heart, Beyond Emotions, Redemption, Ahimsa (non-violence), Wisdom, Beyond Pleasure, Aim at God, Reincarnation, Effort, Moderation, The Mind and Meditation, Mantra, Devotion, Surrender, Three Faces of God, The Calling of the Soul, Responsibility, Work without Attachment, An Instrument of Divine Will, Embodiment, The Downward Path, The Upward Path, Surrender. The Gita contains everything the spiritual aspirant needs to progress on their journey from separation and suffering to unity and peace. It addresses the inner struggle that rages between our ‘self’, or lower nature, and our ‘Self’, or higher nature—between the forces of darkness and light within each of us—and how to stay on the Path of Light. It teaches us to expand our understanding of self to encompass everyone around us and, ultimately, all of existence. It encourages us to orient ourselves towards the Self/Soul/God rather than all the impermanent things of the world that can never truly satisfy us. It guides us to freedom and fulfilment internally and to love and serve others externally.

I love this quote by Sri K. Pattabhi and its message is probably what has had me returning to yoga over the years. When the breath and movement align as when practising yoga everything within and around seem to align with it. This feeling of being one with everyone and everything as well as being nothing all at the same time oddly frees up the mind from unnecessary chatter and instead allows for much deeper connection and exploration. So beautiful, thank you. #yoga #yogajourney #yogaphilosophy #healingjourney #yogicpath #natureyoga #yogaheals

The second yoga sutra of Patanjali is the most inportant of all. It captures the essence of the path of yoga 🧘 “Yogas chitta vritti nirodh” translates to “yoga is the neutralization of the vortices of feeling.” To achieve the state of yoga (union): merging the little self (ego) with the greater Self (spirit), we have to calm the energetic whirlpools of chitta (primordial feeling) in the heart. These agitated feelings of the heart include attachments, likes and dislikes, inclinations, desires, attractions and repulsion. They cause us suffering by making us cling to the past, fear for the future, create conditions for our happiness, and separate from others. Yoga practice helps us to calm these stormy waves of feeling to make our feeling nature as serene as a ripple-free lake (our true soul nature) in harmony within and without. #patanjali #yogasutras #yogaphilosophy #paramhansayogananda #paramahansayogananda #yoga #calmness
Embrace the Bhagavad Gita's timeless guidance and awaken your true potential.♥️ It is better to strive in one’s own dharma than to succeed in the dharma of another. Nothing is ever lost in following one’s own dharma. But competition in another’s dharma breeds fear and insecurity. By fulfilling the obligations he is born with, a person never comes to grief. ⭐️🌞 By following our own path, we avoid the fear and insecurity that can arise from competition and comparison. 🙏✨ #Day5 #BhagavadGita #BhagavadGitaWisdom #InspirationFromGita #SpiritualJourney #InnerPeace #WisdomOfTheGita #SelfRealization #MindfulnessMatters #YogaPhilosophy #AncientWisdom #LifeLessonsFromGita #PeacefulVibes #Healing #Spiritual #Love #SpiritualJourney #SoulAwakening #InnerPeace #DivineGuidance #HigherSelf 🙏🦋

Week 1 of the dream job: recap For the next few months, I’ve decided to take a big leap and investment in myself. Teaching yoga & meditation as well as making art has been what lights me up more than anything. I have been working in these fields for 4 and 6 years respectively, but always in addition to working another job (or 2), taking courses, doing a masters degree, etc. While yoga & art have been at the centre of my life in terms of importance, I’ve always had other things demanding the majority of my time (which have been nourishing in other ways). This past week has been the first week of 100% dedication to this work in both importance AND in time. I’ve spent my days: 🪷working on retreat and workshop planning 🪷teaching classes 🪷lengthening my daily sadhana/practice 🪷catching up on courses and trainings 🪷researching and preparing newsletter and blog options 🪷painting (lots). It’s requiring an immense amount of dedication and trust. While I’ve been doing this work for some time, it still feels so early. And I know it will take time to flourish. But I’m here, in my studio, at my desk, on my mat, laying the roots. It’s scary, exciting, but I’m just so happy to be here. If you’re vibin’ with what I’ve been sharing, here are some ways you can join the ride, support the work, and experience for yourself the profundity of what I dedicate my life to: ✨Come to retreats, classes, and workshops ✨Join me online on Patreon to take classes in asana, meditation, pranayama, and yoga nidra ✨Visit my etsy shop to browse prints and merchandise ✨Sign up for my substack newsletter (patreon fam you’re already set up) ✨Keep your eyes peeled for original paintings for sale and for more art follow @poetry.painted (live footage of me trying to get more comfortable with sharing my offerings because I know how valuable they are) ☺️ All links are available through my page. 🙏🏼 #yogateacher #meditationteacher #yogaandmeditation #yogaphilosophy #yogicliving #yogalifestyle #spiritualpath #spiritualart #yogaart

Akṣaya Tṛtīyā अक्षय तृतीया // Today marks the most auspicious day in the Vedic calendar, where both the luminaries, sūrya (sun) and chandra (moon) are in their exalted positions. Occuring on the third (tr̥tīyā) lunar day of the spring month of Vaiśākha, Akṣaya, meaning “never diminishing,” illuminates this day as a beacon of enduring accomplishments. This auspicious occasion beckons new beginnings with unparalleled favorability, be it in the sacred bond of marriage, the initiation of ventures, the acquisition of gold or a new abode, or acts of benevolence. Such is its potency that the necessity of calculating an auspicious moment, known as muhūrta, becomes obsolete, for the entire day brims with divine blessings. Today commemorates the denouement of the epochal Mahābhārata war, a pivotal event signaling the transition from Satyayuga, the golden age, to Tretāyuga, the silver era. It is also revered as the day when Lord Gaṇeśa and Veda Vyāsa commenced the writing of the Mahābhārata, and the moment when the celestial waters of river Gaṅgā decended from heaven to grace the earth realm. This revered thiti (तिथि), or lunar phase, spans from 4:19 am 5/10 - 2:51 am 5/11 IST | 15:49 5/9 - 14:21 5/10 PST Artwork: Pinterest #akshayatritiya #dayoflastingacheivements #jyotish #vedicastrology #vedicscience #newbeginnings #yogaphilosophy #sanatanadharma #ganga #mahabharata
Combine meditation and exercise to unleash creativity
Bhrumadhya (Third Eye) refers to a concept in Yoga know as "Bhrumadhya Drishti'. It is a sanskrit term used in yoga āsana practice and meditation, which means focusing one's internal gaze on the third eye center. This point is described as being located between eyebrows or just above that point. In sanskrit "Bhru" means "eyebrow", "madhya" means "center", and "dhristi" translates to "seeing", "gaze", or "eye". The practice of Bhrumadhya Drishti is said to aid in concentration, balance, and connecting whit one's intuitive powers. It is often employed in seated meditation and various Yoga poses to help block distractions and improve focus. In the Bhagavad Gita VI.13, Krishna instructs Arjuna to "hold one's body and head erect in a straight line and stare steadily at the tip of the nose" #yoga #yogapractice #yogaposture #yogatherapy #yogaphilosophy #yogaeverywhere #yogaphotography #yogapose #yogatradicional #yogaeveryday #yogateacher #yogaflow #yogafollow #yogainspiration #sanskrit #sanscrito #traditionalyoga #thirdeye #terzoocchio #dhristi #consciousness #classicalyoga #innerpeace #satyanandayoga #capsulediyoga

🗞️ ⚡️ Let’s Talk Yoga! Did you know that yoga involves much more than moving, breathing and mindfulness?! In fact traditionally it has eight ‘limbs’ (branches, spokes, elements). The Yamas and Niyamas provide a framework for how we relate to ourselves and others. They can act as guidelines for creating harmony and balance in our lives. The intention being to ease some of the suffering caused by our very humanness. These aspects of the yoga approach to life have given me a helpful gauge and framework for accountability and responsibility in my life. When things get tricky I am drawn to these to explore where things are out of whack. Not practiced as a dogma, or religion or set of guilt inducing rules for how to be a ‘good or bad’ person. Just an anchor point. Please contact me to book a 1:1 if you would like to know more and/or explore how they could be helpful for you in making changes to your own life. NB: These sessions are not intended as a ‘therapy’ arrangement but I can discuss options for you if needed 🙏🏻🤩 #yoga #yogaphilosophy #yogaisnotalwaysmovement #yogaisawayoflife #yamas #niyamas
How compatible is life in the world with being detached from it? 🤔 The earliest text to teach meditative yoga – the Kaṭha Upaniṣad – repeatedly calls for wise choices about where to focus. The basic idea is straightforward. The timeless presence of the innermost self offers lasting contentment. Everything else cannot, because it’s changing and eventually decays – like the physical body. Does this logic lead to world-renunciation, or at least to withdrawal as far as possible? Old texts often make it sound that way, yet one can also remain in the world and just be less attached to stuff. Would that stop short of the ultimate goal? Our answers to these sorts of questions will probably vary, and might not be the same as what texts say. So it’s helpful to talk about both, and acknowledge distinctions. 🙌 Join me on Sunday to do that! We’ll be talking about yoga in the early Upaniṣads. 📺 There’s still plenty of time to catch up with recordings of the rest of the course. 👉 You can find out more and sign up here (link in bio): https://bit.ly/up-24

Today marks the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya (”third day of unending prosperity”), which is celebrated regionally as the most beneficial day for investments, charity and beginning of new projects. But it is also Matangi Jayanti: the appearance or victory of the ninth Mahavidya (great wisdom). The word ”mata” means a thought, or an opinion. Matangi is therefore often understood as the form of Shakti that embodies thought through the spoken word. She is also associated with the ears and our ability to listen and learn, as well as to hear the voice of intuition. Matangi is said to give knowledge, talent and expertise and is the goddess behind all external articulating of internal wisdom, including all art forms, dance, and music. In many ways, Matangi resembles goddess Saraswati, who is also associated with knowledge, creativity, art, aesthetic refinement, elegance and eloquence. They both hold the veena, the stringed instrument that not only represents musical expressiveness (showing a disciplined approach to technique/grammar resulting in spontaneity, flow and beauty) but also symbolizes the human body. Also, they are both associated with rain, thunder and water- currents leading to the sea. But Matangi is often described as dark emerald green or deep blue, unlike Saraswati who is likened to the cool light of the moon. In some depictions, Matangi also holds not only scrolls, rosary and veena, but a bloody sword and a skull. She is clearly a Mahavidya and as such always associated with Kali. The art and expression that comes through Matangi’s grace therefore tends to reflect a rawer, perhaps more authentic voice than Saraswati’s conventional perfectionism. She is a darker form; ecstatic, mystical and close to the wilderness. She is the knowledge that lies beyond accepted such; the knowledge that liberates and transforms. She is the creativity that flows from deep insight (prajna). Read on in comments below🌹🦜

The journey of yoga is a transformative shift from talking and thinking to observing and listening. ~ There exists a deep awareness, whether we recognise it or not, that allows us to hear our own words as we speak and observe our own thoughts with detachment. ~ This continuous listening makes our hearts soften, allowing us to let go more easily. ~ And what arises is happiness beyond happiness. It’s just there for no reason at all. This is where life begins.. ~ 📸 @praneethred . . . . . . . #yogainspiration #yogaasthanga #hathayoga #yogalife #yogaphotography #yogaphilosophy #asana #beyondthemat #yogajourney #wisewords #quotesandsayings #yogafun #yogatime

How To Know Bliss is a three day, face to face immersion that charts the historical and cultural developments that gave us the foundations of the philosophical system we call Yoga and it’s key text, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. What many people don’t realise is that Patanjali’s text presumes the reader has a detailed knowledge of the cosmological view that underpins Yoga. Without this knowledge the Sutras are difficult to read and understand in their entirety. It’s a bit like this: imagine trying to read a text on particle physics without having been first exposed to modern science and its view of the universe. By providing the background history for the Sutras you will come away with not just a deeper understanding of Indian history in general, but the tools to be able to deeply absorb the wisdom contained in the Sutras. This will take you way beyond a basic knowledge of the famous 8 Limbs of Yoga, into a most fascinating way of viewing the cosmos and our place within it. How To Know Bliss is a must for serious students of Yoga as well as for yoga teachers. Delivered in a conversational way, you will have lots of opportunity to engage with the teachings. Our course begins May 24 and is our last offering for 2024. We have just a few places left available. Head to www.melbourneyoga.academy or hit up our sister account @melbourneyoga.academy to find out more. PS. Every attendee receives a copy of How To Know Bliss; our course resource that you can return to again and again (note: book not sold separately). #yoga #yogacoursesmelbourne #yogaphilosophy #yogasutras

Embodiment is a big word that means something very simple. It’s when an idea becomes something you can see and touch. To embody something is to give it a form, a body. When we talk about an embodied practice, we’re talking about bringing physicality to our thoughts and feelings. Connecting the mind to the body. Or, connecting with the mind through the body. When I first started practicing yoga, I focused only on the physical aspect of it. I loved that I could leave my thoughts (and anxiety) behind and focus only on what was happening on my mat. My mind couldn’t focus on all the things the instructor was asking me to do AND worry about all the ways I felt like I was screwing up my life! As my practice deepened, I began to understand that what I experienced on my mat wasn’t just physical, though. I had to think about each movement. I had to feel it, work out the puzzle that is the body, and then follow through on the instruction. I am an overthinker. A problem-solver. A worrier. But when I’m on my mat, my mind has a place to focus. It connects with my body and keeps me there. Keeps me present. Keeps me connected to me. Will you join me on your mat this weekend? Hot Hatha - Friday @ 12pm Hatha (sub for Rashida) - Sat @ 10am Hatha - Sunday @ 12pm See you at @m3atlanta! #yoga #yogapreneur #yogaatlanta #yogaphilosophy #embodiment
Let the Bhagavad Gita be your compass on the journey of self-discovery.♥️ Reshape yourself through the power of your will. Those who have conquered themselves. Live in peace, alike in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, praise and blame. To such people a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same. Because they are impartial, they rise to great heights. 🔱☮️ It's a beautiful concept that reminds us of the power we have within ourselves to find peace and rise above. 🌟🤎 #Day4 #BhagavadGita #BhagavadGitaWisdom #InspirationFromGita #SpiritualJourney #InnerPeace #WisdomOfTheGita #SelfRealization #MindfulnessMatters #YogaPhilosophy #AncientWisdom #LifeLessonsFromGita #PeacefulVibes #Healing #Spiritual #Love #SpiritualJourney #SoulAwakening #InnerPeace #DivineGuidance #HigherSelf 🙏🦋
We're all just children who've forgotten they're children trying to teach children how not to be children anymore. I've been mocked , ridiculed and laughed for just sitting and being. Told I'm wasting life it wasn't until later in life that it was pointed out to me that I had a gift and never lost my purity. We don't need anything new not even experience. We only need to remember what is was like to marvel at the miracle of life itself . To see to touch to listen to taste .

✨ The Eight Limbs of Yoga: Beyond the Physical Practice ✨ In the bustling world of yoga, especially Instagram, the physical postures, or Asanas, often take center stage, captivating our attention with their graceful movements and awe-inspiring feats of flexibility and handstands. Yet, nestled within the heart of yoga philosophy lies a profound truth: the physical practice is merely one of eight limbs, each serving as a pathway to self-realization and spiritual enlightenment. -Yama (Ethical Standards) -Niyama (Self-Discipline) -Asana (Physical Postures) -Pranayama (Breath Control) -Pratyahara (Sense Withdrawal) -Dharana (Concentration) -Dhyana (Meditation) -Samadhi (Union with the Divine and Pure Bliss) My journey into the depths of yoga philosophy truly began when I embarked on my teacher training with spirituality, guidance, and community — was right under my nose all along. I had always felt like I didn't quite fit into existing groups, but through yogic philosophy, I found a roadmap that resonated with my own spiritual beliefs, morals and ethics, ultimately leading me on a path, with my guiding light clear in view - Samadhi. As we journey through the eight limbs of yoga, let us remember that the physical practice is but a stepping stone on the path to Samadhi, a sacred journey of self-discovery, transformation, and union with the infinite. May we embrace each limb with reverence and humility, knowing that the true essence of yoga lies not in the postures we practice but in the depth of our connection with ourselves and the universe. An amazing teacher of mine, @nurturedbynatureyogaandsound, reminded us in class this week, "The Asana is for the Savasana". I am looking forward to sharing greater details about each of these limbs in future posts! Friends - Which limb resonates with you the most? What did you find most fascinating when learning about the 8 limbs? 🙏✨ #EightLimbJourney #PathToSamadhi #YogaPhilosophy #Yoga #YogaInspiration #Langley #Vancouver #BC #Pranayama

I used to think yoga was a magic eraser for my life's problems. Practice all you want... but reality is still waiting outside the studio. To-do lists and daily fires don't disappear in downward dog. It wasn't yoga's fault, or mine, but I craved a quick fix. What yoga actually gave me was self-awareness. I learned to notice how I tense up when anxious, and how my frustration often spilled onto others. This body - mind awareness, fostered by yoga, turned into mindfulness. Yoga didn't solve my problems, and let's be honest, a **perfect** chaturanga never did either (it might have even added some shoulder problems...). But yoga did equip me with the tools to work with, and helped me weather my problems. So, when people ask if yoga made me calm and happy, I say yes, but not just because of poses or meditation. It's the dedication, the discipline, and the self-awareness we cultivate on the mat that empower us to navigate life. #mindfulness #selfcare #yoga #accessible #yogaforall #yogaclassesonline #yogaclasses #yogaphilosophy #yogabayarea #kindness
