We explore the powerful notion within yoga that everything is “mind made”. By way of suspending sensory awareness, building concentration, insight and absorption, the yogi is freed from anguish, anxiety and suffering. We will emphasize how meditative awareness is anchored in the body and how meditation is like a sword that cuts through the cobwebs of delusional thinking. We will see how yoga is essentially a practice of realization by seeing into the nature of mind.

Do you think of samadhi as an unachievable, far-flung, future goal? Is renunciation antithetical to a life of worldly pleasure? Are miraculous powers a thing of fairy tales, and do you think finding a Guru is only for the lucky few? Well, think again! Those imagined obstacles are the most potent obstacles. With these sessions you will cut through doubt and develop the confidence to own the teachings of yoga and to embody them in your daily life.
