Jen SanMiguel- True Self Yoga NYC

04/06/2025

Been meditating on the word “𝘔𝘢𝘩𝘢”. Which means “great, strong, abundant, a feast, a festival, the festival of spring.” I’d also add 𝘔𝘢𝘩𝘢 can mean “complete”. As in a 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦 practice. We get so caught up in asana or the physical practice, that we forget that there is so much more to yoga than that. We also get so caught up in the minutiae of our day that we miss the great festival that is all around us. Let’s meet on the mat and drop into the Maha of it all. ⁣

Mudra march coming to a close with the iconic, gyan mudra. Gyan mudra is one for knowledge and wisdom. It represents the coming together of the 𝘈𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘯, the personal soul, with the 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘩𝘮𝘢𝘯, universal consciousness. ⁣

Mudra March continues!⁣
⁣
This week we’re exploring Varuna mudra. Varuna is the god of water, oceans and the cosmic realm. He is also associated with justice, cosmic order, and the enforcement of moral law.⁣
⁣
I don’t know about you but those last three things have been on my mind a lot lately. ⁣
⁣
But this is also a transitional period, energetically speaking. We’re moving from water season to wood season, winter to spring. From consolidated energy to ascending. From hibernation to bursting through. ⁣

Meet me on the mat this week! ⁣

Weather has been wacky here in NYC as it often is as we transition from winter to spring. And let’s face it, the world is…. A lot right now. I’ve been feeling ungrounded and maybe you have too. ⁣
⁣
This week’s mudra is prithvi. Prithvi means “earth” and this mudra can help stabilize and ground us. Prithvi is also a mother goddess. She is known as the “Vast one” and she is stable, fertile and benevolent. ⁣

It’s Mudra March! ⁣
⁣
This week we’re starting off with Uttarabodhi mudra- which is a mudra for enlightenment. I’ll tell a myth (Mythical March?) and who knows? Maybe we’ll find a little illumination on the mat! ⁣

In India, you remove your shoes before entering a temple because it symbolizes leaving your lowest, most worldly self outside the sacred space. ⁣
⁣
You’ll often see this symbol at places honoring god/desses and mystics. Specifically the Lakshmi Charan, honoring the goddess Lakshmi for her divine grace and abundance. Where Lakshmi’s feet go, prosperity and luck will follow. ⁣
⁣
One of my fellow travelers on my recent trip to India talked about the resistance of the western mind to walking barefoot in places that we perceive to be unclean but also the power of being connected to the earth. ⁣
⁣
Back from India and ready to get back on the mat with you! ⁣

Winter got you feeling slow and sluggish? This time of year makes us want to hibernate. It’s good to rest and slow down but we do still need to get up and do stuff. Winter is Kapha season in Ayurveda- which is marked by all those feelings of being cozy but also by being stagnant. Ayurveda is all about 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. So this week on the mat, I’m offering practices to help you get a little fire going! ⁣
