⭐️What I taught this week! Philosophy edition ⭐️
Aparigraha: non-attachment
I introduced it in the beginning by cueing students to recognize what they are holding onto; where they feel resistance in their bodies, mind or energy
Through the middle I encourage students to turn inward by recognizing how they react to resistance or discomfort and notice the patterns or conversations in the mind that might be holding them back from experiencing freedom on the other side of letting go
Towards the end I bring it back together by explaining the philosophy as one of the yamas / first limb of yoga or social disciplines here to help us live a more aligned purposeful life..I ask my students what they can bring with them from this practice off their mats as they leave the room
Ive always made it a priority to include yogic philosophy in my classes because of the transformative nature and essence this has on our experience 🫶🏻
