There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. Howard Thurman

If yoga leads us to finding our true selves, the path is the mastery and integration of the activities of the mind [vritti]. It is ignorance that colors vritti.
Pantajali [Sutras, Book 2, # 5] describes 4 kinds of ignorance:
1. mistaking the temporary for the eternal
2. impure for pure
3. pain for pleasure
4. not-self for self

We have said goodbye to our beloved space at Artscetera and wish Nanette and Howard great prosperity in their next chapter. Stay tuned for updates and venues for One Wave Yoga.

Sutra 1.33: Purification of one’s field of consciousness occurs from an attitude of friendship when encountering happiness
--compassion when encountering suffering
--gladness when encountering virtue
--neutrality when encountering vice.

Now the study of Pranayama (controlled breathing) (prana is life energy/ life force which rides on the breath, up the spine):
-balanced breathing-inhales and exhales
-alternate-nostril breathing
-3 part breathing
-ujjayi breathing

The Yamas [abstinences]:
Ahimsa = not causing pain
Satya = not lying
Asteya = not stealing
Bramacharya = Not being promiscuous [modern interpretation]
Aparigraha = not being greedy
..in our actions, in our words, in our actions.
Namaste.
