12 years ago. Some things don't change — they just deepen.

I can't remember if it was David Nichtern or Nina Rao who said this during the Ram Dass Summer Mountain Legacy Retreat this past weekend, but the wisdom is worth contemplating and remembering.

A simple metaphor that suggests to see practice as a well, and recommends to not dig too many shallow wells, but rather just dig one deep well.

In my experience when we commit to doing one practice while heartedly, it inevitably opens up into a wider practice that encompasses more limbs and leads to new teachings without leaving the mother teaching but rather deeping it. The practice of yoga is 8 limbed, we must begin somewhere.

The other thing I have learned is that curiosity and an open mind help along the way. Approaching all that arises with love, care, curiosity and generosity. To never force but rather offer ...time, inquiry, patience, gratitude, faith - to name a few

Inevitably the well will deepen, and the love will grow ❤️

One thing we can rely on is that everything always changes. Anything that has a beginning inevitably has an end. This is a lesson we learn in many places in practice - and across all practices - Asana, chanting, meditation...

One of the reasons I love the Mysore room, both practicing in and teaching within it, is that it provides a place of steadiness, so profound so reliable that it serves an anchor, a place of comfort as we navigate dealing with the impermanence of life. Whatever is going on, the room is always there, just like our breath. Whatever is going on Sangha is there. This practice of ashtanga yoga is so rich.

Just like the Mysore room, mantra provides this place of refuge, this learning ground we can always rely on, rest within and take a shelter in.

I find so much similarity within the ashtanga practice and Veda chanting. The rigorous attention they require, the lineage container, the opportunity to remain present...

Thank you Loving Awareness Summer Camp for another lovely experience.

The love was palpable. This summer has been filled with so many opportunities to remember the power of community. I've had the great honor of being in several different settings across different lineages, and the shared core value in every one of them is love.
I know it may sound corny — but when we strip everything down to its essence, what's left is consciousness.

Consciousness recognizing itself can create a sense of I-ness, but if we hold that within a container of remembering that we are, at the core, one thing — then we can remember love. I-ness ceases, even if only momentarily. And when it does, we can view another from a place of unity, of togetherness, of shared humanity, of compassion.

It's easy to experience this in the containers we call retreats. But hopefully, the more we practice it in these spaces — noticing the judgements we may carry when we walk in, and watching them fall away as recognition and shared humanity take over — the more we can bring that into daily life. We can start to notice when we're judging another and offer ourselves a pause, a curiosity, a sense of wonder toward what we dislike in others. And then act from that more spacious place.

A tall order. But we just keep trying. 🙏

A beautiful weekend held by the lush nature of the The Abode surrounded by a loving community, and sharing teachings.

Thank you Caravan of Love for inviting Yoga into your practices.

There is so much nourishment we can find we live in community, when we extend a loving hand towards other fellow humans.

The cure to all ailments - Connectivity, slowing down, mindfulness and mother Earth.

Our first July in the Hudson Valley. A wonderful balance of teaching, family and friends.

"And that transformation, which is called the spiritual path, happens often almost in spite of ourselves. It’s as if once the door has even a crack in it, and a little teeny bit of light comes through, you get hooked, and you almost find you can’t get away." From Ram Dass sub stack

Some invitations aren't about doing more. They're about coming back to yourself.

This October, Alex Tse and I (Bibi Lorenzetti) are leading a four day retreat at Menla — Mysore-style Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Yin by day, workshops, chanting and stillness by night. All levels welcome. You don't need experience in practice, just an enthusiastic curiousity to learn.

At the center of our time together is the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra — one of the most ancient verses in the Vedic tradition, an invocation to Shiva for healing, protection, and liberation.

We'll study it word by word, chant it together, and let Kriya — the inner practice of breath and stillness — carry its meaning inward. Sound and silence. Invocation and surrender.

Two practices a day. One daily workshop. Kirtan every evening, with some special guests we're working to bring in.

Vegetarian meals you didn't have to plan or clean up after. Time in nature, on land blessed by the Dalai Lama himself. And a small group of people doing the same quiet, unglamorous work you are.

Four days is enough to come back different.

Everyday we show up and fold into our practice. We practice as a community. We see practice as a way of life, asana as a vessel into mindfulness and deep inner communion. The activity of the practice creates, over time, a deep sense of inner steadiness, one we can eventually lean into so fully that we can fold into the silence of our hearts and from that space experience peace. A peace we want all to bathe in.

It's always here, accessible if we are willing to go there. In this space there is less reactivity, less division, more space for pause, more unity, more compassion and therefore an abundance of kindness.

We can only pray that more and more people can find their way to a practice or benefit from the efforts of our own practice.

OM peace, peace, peace

Gāyatrī Upāsanā A Workshop on Sacred Mantra Practice with Bibi Lorenzetti

Of all the mantras preserved in the Vedic tradition, the Gāyatrī stands apart — appearing in all four Vedas and chanted for thousands of years as an invocation of the sun's luminous intelligence. In Sanskrit, upāsanā means "to sit near" — to draw close to something sacred through devoted, sustained attention. This workshop is an invitation to do exactly that.

Together we will explore the Gāyatrī mantra as a living practice — not merely a recitation, but a means of steadying the mind and aligning ourselves with the truth that already holds us.

Together we will explore:

The mantra's origins, structure, and the Vedic tradition of chandas and svara

The philosophical meaning of the mantra and its relevance to modern practice

The role of sankalpa — intentional dedication — in entering sacred study

How correct recitation cultivates discernment and steadiness of mind

No prior Sanskrit knowledge is required. The only prerequisite, as the tradition itself holds, is śraddhā — sincere dedication to the practice and to showing up as a practitioner.

Come ready to chant, to listen, and to rest in the truth.

Listen to the wisdom that is always here.

A journey through Rome and Tuscany with people I love. Sharing in life, practice and friendship.

You get to the formless through the form. You use the form to find direction within and you can keep coming back to that form…what's behind the form is forever

With this we conclude our Tuscany retreat. Thank you

Our teachers are among the most precious blessings on the path. When we find those who are rooted in the teachings — who live and breathe the practice, who lead with kindness and compassion — we must rejoice. It is a gift, the ripening of some seed planted long ago.
In Krishna's words:

Approach those who have realized the purpose of life and question them with reverence and devotion; they will instruct you in this wisdom. Once you attain it, you will never again be deluded. You will see all creatures in the Self, and all in me. — Bhagavad Gītā 4.34

In paramparā, we strive to spend as much time near our teachers as possible, absorbing their wisdom through transmission — observing, serving, and rejoicing in the sweet connection born of love.
