When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a lamp in a windless place. In the still mind, in the depths of meditation, the Self reveals itself. Beholding the Self by means of the Self, an aspirant knows the joy and peace of complete fulfillment. Having attained that abiding joy beyond the senses, revealed in the still mind, they never swerve from the eternal truth. They desire nothing else and cannot be shaken by the heaviest burden of sorrow.
βThe Bhagavad Gita
The goal of Yoga is to be able to sit in meditation. To take a moment, find a comfortable seat and breathe. The “peak” pose for this Darkling Yoga series is our throne. Our throne is whatever seated pose we can comfortably maintain, held by our alignment, to sit in and breathe with ease. Yoga is simply this. It is not the crazy ways we bend our bodies or anything glamorous or based on reward. The reward is within you, Yogi.
Join us.
For tonight’s class youβll need enough blocks to support you in siddhasana (or a comfortable, seated pose), a strap if you have one and a Yoga mat. A bolster is a great way to find your comfortable, seated pose but a thick, hard pillow will do. If you donβt have blocks, have some thick books on hand to place under your knees. Wear stretchy or loose-fitting clothing (loose enough to adjust but not so loose theyβre in the way). And water!
