Svadhyaya is about self-inquiry. We use reflection on the mat as a way to facilitate that inquiry (building the mind-body connection), but you can also learn about yourself by studying the wise writings of spiritual leaders. Svadhyaya is the commitment to honestly study, review, and evaluate your progress. Practice this week: read a few chapters from an inspirational book and keep a journal of the insights that arise. Ask yourself this: how can I learn more about myself, my t...hought patterns, my emotional reactions, my impulses, my actions, etc.? As Aristotle says, Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

We’re here to share some easy ways to bring yoga into your day! With so much sitting while we’re sheltering in place, hip-openers are more important than ever. This one can be done while sitting on a chair or couch. Place your right ankle to rest on your left knee (make sure your left knee is stacked over your left ankle).Flex your right foot. Try to let your right knee settle down toward the ground until you feel the stretch in your right hip. Hold for a few deep breaths. T...hen switch sides.
