Keep breathing. Keep practicing. Please remember how deeply you are loved.

Patanjali calls abhyasa, steady effort, one of the two wings of yoga practice. Sally Kempton calls it the very heart of practice. One of the most amazing things we’ve seen with #virtual #yoga is incredible consistency. The Kanda kula shows up to practice regardless of the kinetic energies of this year. . This consistency allows @alisonsmithyoga to take classes to increasingly deep and nuanced study. We can get experimental and focused. Students who have studied with Alison ...for many years are still finding radically expressions of common postures. . . Seeking consistent, structured yoga practice? We have room for you. See more

Tomorrow! A special festival for the yoga tradition is happening right now. It's called Navaratri, the nine nights of the goddess. In honor of this, I'll teach a special Sunday Service tomorrow, 9-10:15am. During this Sunday Service, I'll tell you the story of Durga, who with her 18 arms, wielding 18 weapons, rides into Devaloka on a lion and slays a demon that has defeated all the gods. We'll discuss how this myth provides hope and courage during a difficult time in our huma...n experience. There will also be a short practice focused on what I call the Devi Namaskar - Salutations to the Goddess. It will be fun and playful. Think Story Time + Practice Party.

The most sophisticated decisions aren’t between right and wrong, but between two excellent things. A subtle effect of yoga is discernment: the gift of recognizing what is appropriate now, what is of value in the present moment. Over the past few weeks, Live Kanda classes have followed a set sequence. We’ve experimented with variations that lend the same poses wildly different flavors of experience. And this week, we practice discernment: choosing which of each postures multitude of expressions fits us best. Care to join our exploration? DM us for your first class free.
