• Tada drashtuh svarupe avasthanam - Then the seer abides (or rests) in its own true essence 👁✨ In the third Yoga Sutra Patanjali defines what happens when we have experienced yoga. The part of you witnessing or observing this moment is the true or authentic self. When the thinking mind is no longer active, what remains is our pure and unadulterated authenticity. Experience is free from any modifications or misconceptions of the mind. You reside in the the purity of your own consciousness. In the Tantric tradition, this experience is beautifully referred to as self remembrance and is called Smarana - and the fundament of Zuna Yoga.

  • “‘Who you are on the mat is who you are in the world.’ I remember this lesson from my YTT whenever I feel emotions, comparisons or fatigue creep up during my practice. When my arms tremor, my mind wanders, or whenever I feel like I just can’t possibly hold Urdhva Dhanurasana any longer, I remember to breathe and come back to the present moment. It is here that we find compassion, strength and endurance - to hold a little longer, breathe a little deeper and embrace the challenge with all that we are. Never forget, where your mind goes, energy flows.” ~Simone, ZY grad

  • Be still, be absorbed into the vibrations of life that surround you. Experience them not as separate from you, but as you. Become the sound of the breeze, the smell of the earth...of the trees. Expand into all that is perceived. So Ham. I am the core vibration of all things. 💫 📷: ZY grad @benedicteyogini

  • SMALL ACTS of kindness can do BIG THINGS 🤗 With your help, @anandasoulcreations has collected enough donations to feed 300 Balinese families and counting! ‧ The local economy here is largely dependent on tourism, and has been devastated by the impact of CoVid19 on the travel industry.
