Ever feel pulled toward things you crave or pushed away by things you dislike? Welcome to the dance of Raga (attachment) and Dvesha (aversion). 🌿

In yoga, we recognize these forces as the roots of our suffering. Raga draws us toward desires, making us cling to fleeting moments. Dvesha pushes us away from discomfort, creating resistance and tension. 

But what if we could find balance? What if we could observe these impulses without getting swept away? This is largely WHY we practice— to resist our impulses towards being pushed and pulled by life/mind.

Join me on the mat as we explore how to navigate these forces with grace, finding peace in the midst of life’s chaos. Remember, it’s not about eliminating desires (you’ll always want some form of “the cookie”) or aversions but understanding and integrating them. 

Let’s journey together, moving beyond attachment and aversion, and stepping into a life of equanimity and joy.
