Attentiveness

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “Making Progress.”

Attentiveness

A second’s indiscretion or inattentiveness may bring about the ruin of treasures that have taken a lifetime to acquire. Unfailing watchfulness is the essence of Yoga life.

- Sri Ananda Acharya

The homework is to observe your own experience and reflect on when your indiscretion or inattentiveness has been destructive. Learn from this experience and build upon it by practicing to be more mindful. Start this practice on the mat by noticing when your mind drifts and draw yourself back to your practice by being more attentive to your posture and breath. Then take this practice off of the mat and into your relationships.

Blessings,
