Surrendering All

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “Surrendering All.”

The ultimate attainment is already ours, but the experience of it comes to us only when we are in a state of compete surrender. In this case, "surrender" means the surrender of everything - every effort, desire, thought of attainment or, indeed, anything that represents the thought of any other - as we become centered instead. The person who is able to do this becomes a fountain of consciousness.

- Swami Chetanananda

The homework is to learn to let go, or surrender, through your asana practice. Let go of doing the final pose and let go of getting anything out of the practice. See where this takes you.

Blessings,
