Nirodhaḥ Yoga Blog
We can't believe it but our little baby is six years old! 💕 When we opened our doors in 2017, nervous and uncertain if the neighborhood would embrace us, we never could have foretold the beautiful relationships we would forge with Roscoe Village, Lakeview and North Center (and other neighborhoods!) residents. We didn't understand how much meaning our job would have to us. How many people we would get to serve within our community - in our studio, outdoors, in schools and many other organizations... even *gasp* online! It hasn't always been easy. In fact, many times it's been downright hard. Your peaceful faces at the end of the practice were what kept us going in the face of adversity. Here we are at the end of a very bizarre period of our collective lives, ready to move forward into the new. It seems, despite the fall weather, we're all ready for growth. So for our 6th Anniversary Weekend, we're offering folks new to 5KY the chance to try out our all-access pass for only $1 for three days! See how good a regular yoga practice makes you feel in three days and grow into better health, a calmer mind and more self-confidence. 6th ANNIVERSARY ALL-ACCESS PASS Terms & Conditions Available for first time students of 5KY only. Get three days of unlimited yoga for $1. The All-Access pass auto-renews at the end of three days at our discounted monthly all-access rate ($115). Cancel anytime. TO OUR REGULAR STUDENTS: please book your spot in your favorite classes the week of September 15th before September 10th. We expect most classes to have a waitlist, so make sure to snag your place before the Open House pre-booking begins. Also, please invite your friends to join us! In the meantime, check out these throwback images from our opening weekend in 2017!

Photo by freestocks on Unsplash Practice is the most important factor in Yoga. - Swami Satchidananda This blog post is part of our Yoga Sutras series. Want to start at the beginning? Sutra 1.14 - स तु दीर्घकाल नैरन्तर्य सत्कारा असेवितो दृढभूमिः - Sa Tu Dīrghakāla Nairantarya Satkāra-ādara-āsevito Dr̥ḍhabhūmiḥ Practice Becomes Firmly Grounded by Patience, Devotion, and Faith From Sutras 1.13-1.20, Patanjali outlines exactly what it means to accomplish what we studied last month in Sutra 1.12. As a reminder, Yoga Sutra 1.12 tells us that by practice and detachment, we will reach the goal of yoga.
Sutras 1.13 and 1.14 discuss what it means to practice. Practice of yoga is defined as continuous effort to calm the fluctuations of our mind, as explained in Yoga Sutra 1.2. Sutras 1.15 and 1.16 describe what non-attachment is. It is a state of renunciation that is achieved through the application of our willpower. (Iyengar, 65) Ultimate renunciation occurs when we are no longer affected by the qualities of nature, which are known as the three gunas in Vedic philosophy. In other words, “one is no longer controlled by the dramas of the world.” (Shoshoni, 9) |
