Kia ora all,
this months class we are looking at Ishvara pranidhana is the tenet of yoga that reminds us that even though our ego (asmita) tells us that we are important, we are smaller than the divine. Ishvara pranidhana is a reminder that we alone are not captaining the boat. We might be steering and choosing the route, but we cant control the weather

Kia ora all,
If I haven't seen you yet, happy new year to you and your family.
This month's online class is exploring Svadhyaya - self study.

Self study is often what brings people to yoga. It is a path to knowing yourself a bit more, understanding your compulsions and habits and moving toward a higher, clearer version of yourself. Meditating, moving on your mat and being in community with others all bring growth and reflection.
