"Engross yourself in your Sadhana" - November, 2007 at Yoga of Los Altos
To be fully engaged and engrossed is of utmost importance in our practice. It requires dedication, willpower, commitment, a yearning to learn, humbleness, devotion and faith in the PROGRESS. To experience and to be fully engrossed, we need to SLOW down so that attentive awareness is refined; slowing down offers to experience the changing degrees of concentration, withdrawal of the senses, the power of the breath and the alignment and balance of the body.

"The Five Kosas" - June, 2007 at Yoga of Los Altos
In this workshop you will learn about the 5 Kosas, the sheaths of our existence, through refinements, attentiveness and awareness/wakefulness in your Sadhana. The emphasis will be on a slowly guided practice to present the opportunity to feel, explore and reflect, in a quiet state of being, the multifaceted layers of the body, mind and breath.

"Refinements on your SADHANA (practice)" - February, 2007 at Yoga of Los Altos
Every day we begin our practice with devotion, humbleness and an open mind; we maintain our beginner mind. Awareness unfolds through our mind and skillful practice. Sadhana is an interdependent, three folded practice:

  I.    BAHIRANGA: External Quest
  II.   ANTARANGA: Internal Quest
  III.  ANTARATMA: Innermost Quest

It is essential to BE in the present, moment by moment, breath by breath; only then the practice, Sadhana, unfolds to be an evolutionary journey.
