“No step is wasted on this path, and even a little progress is freedom from fear.” Bhagavada Gita

 

There’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. We all make choices about which way we’ll go. Whether it is getting coffee in the morning or deciding how we want to move though life. But in case we’re involved in practicing the discipline of yoga. Moving in such a direction is bound to have impact on the road we good down. Workshops such as this year- end immersion helps us walk down the path with more focus and awareness. Such treks allow is to grow and expand in new ways. So with all that in mind, please consider joining us to realize that the journey is the Path.

This of course it aligned with philosophy and practice of yoga. So during the course of this immersion we will practicing poses (asana), breath awareness(pranayama), meditation(dhyana), and relaxation (savasana).

Sitting Spaces

Students at the Yoga Path have been invited to share images of the meditation space in their homes. Here are some of the initial entries.

“One of the most important ways you can transform your home space is to make a place to sit. Creating a peaceful sitting area can transform your whole house. This also an important way to support your meditation practice. If we sit in the same place each day, it takes us less and less time to remember to stop and return to our breath. Here, in this place, our bodies and minds can help each other relax”  Thich Nhat Hanh

Interbeing at a Retreat

This weekend I attended a Mindfulness Retreat in the Tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh.  It was put on by the Heartland Community of Mindful Living lead by the dharma teacher Joanne Friday.  It was a transformative and refreshing experience, but that is not what I want to talk about right now. What I want to talk about it this women I met there. Perhaps some of you have heard of Dr. Mary Pipher.  When I was talking to her I didn’t know who I was talking to.  Now I know.  Author of Reviving Ophelia and her most recent book The Green Boat: Reviving Ourselves in Our Capsized Culture.  Here is a talk she gave recently about her newest book.  I believe there is significance in that I would me this women in context of this Buddhist retreat.
