 Aki Burayidi What brought you to yoga? My mom has been doing yoga since before I was born so it’s always been a part of my life. My mom always jokes that yoga was my first babysitter because she would sit me in front of yoga for kids tapes when I was little! What is your approach to teaching? I try to create classes that allow people to connect with their bodies and breath while exploring new ways of moving their bodies. Why did you choose to teach at 5KY? I chose to teach at 5KY because I love the sense of community at the studio! Everyone is so kind and all the instructors have such an open and inviting energy. What makes your soul sing? Spending time with people I love, chocolate, and good food :)

Want to start at the beginning? Yoga Sutra 1.41 क्षीणवृत्तेरभिजातस्येव मणेर्ग्रहीतृग्रहणग्राह्येषु तत्स्थतदञ्जनतासमापत्तिः kṣīṇa-vr̥tter-abhijātasy-eva maṇer-grahītr̥-grahaṇa-grāhyeṣu tatstha-tadañjanatā samāpattiḥ When the Mind Is One-Pointed, it Becomes Stable and Clear Like a Flawless Crystal. In this State, the Perceiver, Perceived and Instrument of Perception Are One, Just as a Crystal Reveals Objects Placed Near it. This Is the Consummation of Samadhi. Now, Patanjali dives into the most subtle parts of the method he is describing, called Raja Yoga or the Eight-Limbed Path (Ashtanga Yoga). As we discussed in February, this first book of the Yoga Sutras is for Patanjali’s most advanced students and is simultaneously a broad overview of Raja Yoga basics.
