"From Abhyasa to Sadhana - Evolution of the Practice on the Mat to the Practice of Living Workshop"

Sunday, March 22, 2009
1:30 - 4:00 pm
Signing 4:00 - 5:00 pm

As developing and practicing Yogis, we come to realize that everything evolves; further, that to evolve, one must involve. Involution allows evolution. We also realize that as we practice "on the mat," all the realities and lessons of Life expose themselves for our consideration. We also observe that the lessons learned on the mat become a part of our everyday activities - the Practice of Living.

Abhyasa is the practice on the mat. Patanjali states in Sutra I.12 that "it is the practice, with detachment, that is the means to stilling the fluctuations of the consciousness." Chapter 2 of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Sadhana Pada, is about the practice of living, about the Practice of the integrated yogi.

In this workshop, we will practice Yoga while considering, exploring, and absorbing these concepts. We will seek, with intention, our own confirming realization and evidence, during the practice and through reflection, that truly the Practice on the Mat does transform into artfully and skillfully living Life. The workshop will be a combination of Asana, Pranayama, Dhyana (meditation), and reflection on the experiences.
