Beauty of Asana
Lila’s Asana Class Changes & Updates
Asana, which means pose or posture, is the doorway that many of us have walked through in our path to live an inspired,Ā consciousĀ life.Ā Many of us have been witness to theĀ positiveĀ affects ofĀ this ancient practice and have gained first hand experience to its healing and mentally-calming powers.
Asana, which also means “seat” defines our inherent need “to sit” with our own inner world. It awakens in us a desire to return to our Essence, to return to Spirit. This doesn’t mean that we are to negate the physical form and accept only our spiritual Self. Rather, it means that in orderĀ to live fully, we are to groundĀ in our body, detachĀ fromĀ the ever-changing thought world, and clearly identify with ourĀ Spiritual Essence.
Postures are far more than an exercise orĀ stretching regimen. Asana is a response to our intrinsicĀ nature to look within, to investigate and discover our vast body, mind, and spirit. It is a prayer, a moving meditation, that opens us up like the warm sun opensĀ a beautifully surrenderedĀ lotus flower.
When you practice theses sacred postures, you are brought to the present moment. You are taught how to transcend time, suffering, and separation.Ā YouĀ awakenĀ toĀ your Highest Self and consciously connectĀ to the Whole. Through asana, you embarkĀ on the path of Self-discovery, Self-preservation, and Self-transformation.
Join us at Sangha for the inner experience of asana and continue to be transformed towards love, light, and peace. Dedicate to carve outĀ timeĀ in your busy schedule to make your SelfĀ a priority. By developing your inner consciousness, you will better equipped to manage the external world of name and form, and more quickly arrive at the place we all seek; inner peace and unwavering happiness.
Blessings on your mat and your dedication towards wholeness.
With Om and Prem,
Lila Saraswati |
