Wishing you a day filled with mindful moments and joyful memories. Don't forget to strike your signature yoga pose on your special day!

Happy birthday Edlyn ✨💫

Dear Edlyn
Wednesday evening was for you! and whenever it happens again, it will always be yours. It's been great getting to know you as a person. You are one of the most genuine, kind and supportive person I know. Whenever any of my students express doubts about their progress, the topic of your transformational yoga journey always comes up in our conversation.

The kind of dedication you’ve shown towards learning despite being busy with your work is commendable. Thank you for your patience and believing in my way of teaching for so many years, and thank you for supporting me all the time without a second thought (you know what I'm talking about)!

As you fly to your hometown (Singapore) early tomorrow morning, leaving behind many memories and the fragrance of your goodness will always remain there. This is not a goodbye but will see you soon on your return visit to Hk!

I wish you excellence in whatever you do and continue to share your yoga experiences what you have learned over the years. Keep Shining ✨🧘🏻‍♀️

Have you ever wondered about the true nature of your being? Who are you beyond your name, physical appearance, job title, etc.?

Yoga philosophy reveals us that human being is not just a physical body of bones, muscles, and blood, but three complex bodies consisting of multiple layers that are essential to our existence. We know these layers as the five koshas, and they hold the key to unlocking the knowledge of the true Self. 
-
In this workshop, we will:
✨Explore and experience various balance and inversion asanas, it’s modification and transitions in a creative way.
✨Examine the Blueprint of our existence according to yoga; the three bodies and five Koshas, diving deeper into the layers of our being and discovering the essence of who we really are.
✨Understand, activate, nurture and integrate all these through relevant yogic practices.

Join me on this journey of self-discovery and unravel the mysteries of the self through the ancient wisdom of yoga philosophy.

Two weekends in August:
Sat 19th & Sun 20th
Sat 26th & Sun 27th

You may reach out of me via DM for more details. Namaste 🙏🏾

As mentioned earlier, Patanjali indicates another state of samadhi in between sabija samadhi and nirbija samadhi, but does not name it. It is experienced with the cessation of all functions of the brain, leaving behind only the residual merits, or samaskara, of good practices. In this state one is free from passions, desires and appetites.
The word used for this state is virama pratyaya. In it the sadhaka rests in a highly evolved state in which the intelligence is still. The nearest we come to virama pratyaya in ordinary experience are those few moments before falling asleep, when the intellect relaxes its hold on thoughts and objects and the mind becomes silent, a state reminiscent of manolaya. Like a river joining the sea, the mind is dissolving into the self. We are given a momentary glimpse of the seer, abiding in the self. The moment one loses the feeling of 'I', one is in this state of virama pratyaya, which is neither negative nor positive. It is a state of suspended animation in the conscious­ ness. Patanjali calls this state a different type of samadhi (anyah). It is not deliberate but natural. Cont.

✨When non-attachment and detachment are learned there is no craving for objects seen or unseen, words heard or unheard. Then the seer remains unmoved by temptations. This is the sign of mastery in the art of renunciation.
Non-attachment and detachment must be learned through willpower. They consist of learning to be free from cravings, not only for worldly, but also heavenly pleasures.

Often we come across renounced persons who get caught in the pleasures and comforts of life and neglect their sadhana. We should learn from such examples and guard ourselves so that we develop firmness in our sadhana.
A bird cannot fly with one wing. It needs two wings to fly. To reach the highest spiritual goal, the two wings of yoga, abhyasa and vairagya are essential. 🙏🏾

✨𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐛𝐡𝐲𝐚𝐬𝐚 - According to Maharishi Patanjali, abhyasa should be practiced with complete faith, continue uninterrupted for a very long period of time. When done in such way, abhyasa becomes firmly established and a part of one´s nature. Here, long time refers to years of practice, sometimes ages and many births. It is not important how long it is going to take, but what matters is one should continue with utmost devotion and complete faith…

✨Profound wisdom is gained through steady, dedicated, attentive practice, and non-attachment through applied restraint. However, success may inflate the Sadhaka’s ego, and he should be careful not to become a victim of intellectual pride which may drag him away from enlightenment. If this happens, he should re-establish his practice by taking guidance from a com­petent master, or through his own discrimination, so that humility replaces pride and spiritual wisdom dawns. This is correct practice. 🙏🏾
