Practicing the Yoga Sutras by Carroll Ann Friedmann combines clear explanations of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali with prompts for personal discovery and reflection. The concise instructions and explanations offered by the Yoga Sutras are still powerful and exceedingly valuable for moving toward peace and knowledge of the Self. Practicing the Yoga Sutras also offers space for personal reflections and self-study notes. I recently had the chance to talk to Carroll Ann about her book and practical ways to apply its teachings and The Yoga Sutras to your daily life. She shares insights about specific group of sutras including samyama, abhyasa, and Vairagya and how they can influence our attitudes and behaviors. She also talks about her background as the owner and yoga teacher at Ashtanga Yoga Charlottesville and the Ivy Yoga School. I have had my own personal yoga practice now for close to 11 years and found her insights about yoga and the Yoga Sutras to be practical, ways to enhance my own yoga practice, and deepen my connection to my spiritual Self. One of my favorite parts of the conversation with Carroll Ann is talking about how to deepen your own yoga practices by focusing on the spiritual aspects of yoga. She provides clear explanations of how yoga not only affects us physically, but also on a spiritual and emotional level too.

Lecture by Swami Tyagananda, given on May 26, 2024, at the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society, Boston, MA.

5th Niyama is Isvara Pranidhana complete surrender to the God head of your understanding. To have complete faith in the guiding and protective power of absolute reality behind all life and manifestation. Whatever is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Yoga is not a religion, however a ‘Spiritual' practice.The teachings suggests we surrender our fruits of our actions, give all of our self over to this Grace that we entrust in and we stay open to what life has to offer. Starting thinking about what you are trying to control, be powerful over? Person, place or thing? Kids, finances, relationships, work outcomes…Or better yet, what would you like to let go of? Fear, anger, envy, resentments…Vyasa one of the commenters of the Yoga Sutras, stated that a mind that is disturbed, distracted and stupefied is not fit for reaching Samadhi. It is only reachable by Yogis who have cultivated a one-pointed and complete still mind, Nirodha. In our focused, diligent practice (Abhyasa) we refine our awareness (Viveka) to observe what arises, discerning our choices in practice. Vairagya is a practice of letting go of sensory observation, training the mind to detach from what arises, distracts or motivates the activity of the mind that prevents it from stillness. This becomes a repetition of mind to practice the art of surrendering that which doesn't serve the practitioner in their pursuit of attaining the state of Yoga.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

This discussion was recorded in London at the new Mission studio where Jason led Module I of his hybrid YTT a few weeks ago. Together, Jason and I explored the question -- Is this thing that we're all doing still actually yoga? Our power-hour or our 30-minute glo class or our rolling on foam rollers with some poses sprinkled in -- are those still yoga? Or has yoga in the West evolved into something else altogether?A few tidbits that we discuss in the episode:The fact that the word "yoga" has more than 350 definitions in Sanskrit, revealing its diverse nature.The belief in a singular, authentic yoga tradition is challenged throughout history.Swami Vivekananda's influence on bringing yoga to the United States and his perspective on Hatha Yoga.Different yoga traditions, like Iyengar and Ashtanga, were once considered radical innovations.The long-standing tension between "head up" and "head down" yogas: intellectual vs. physical practices.The importance of focusing on one's practice and impact rather than judging others' practices.The five common denominators of yoga traditions, including liberation teachings and philosophical infrastructure.The significance of Abhyasa (effort) and Vairagya (letting go) in all yoga practices.Yoga as a gradual process of replacing unconscious patterns with conscious beliefs aligned with self-realization.Jason will be back at Mission in London in October -- join him for a 6-day immersion or for Module II of his Hybrid YTT.
