Oneness

If you want to attain immortality, go beyond the pairs of opposites. Endure bravely heat and cold, pain and sorrow, loss and failure, censure and dishonour. You will attain equanimity of mind, peace and poise. If you are balanced in pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat, sin will not touch thee; you will not be affected by the fruits of your actions

Subdue the lower self by the Higher Self. Annihilate all desires. Slay egoism. Destroy all attachments. Meditate and rest peacefully in your own Innermost Atman, which is Existence, Consciousness and Bliss Absolute.

Sensual pleasure is the womb of pain. The cause for pain is absence of pleasure. Sensual pleasure is imaginary, illusory, fleeting and tantalising. Abandon sensual pleasure and rejoice in the Eternal Bliss of Atman.

Santosha - Contentment

OM


I find that people often misunderstand the yoga principle of santosha (contentment), believing that it means giving up their will to change. I get students who say, “I don’t want to be content, because if I am content then I won’t get anywhere in my job. I need to want something. I've got to be on the cutting edge in my profession”. They don’t understand that santosha is not inertness. Rather, santosha means being content right now, even as you are changing your life.

How 200 hr Yoga-based Fitness Can Nurture Growth

Health and fitness practices differ depending on individual needs and goals; you are not going to go for deadlifts, for occasion, if your intention is to build some lean tone. And you’re probably going to want to graduate from power walking if you’re aiming for a 5k marathon.

Fortunately, 200 hr yoga-based fitness is for everyone. Coming from gentle, breath- and slower movement-focused yoga to powerful “hot” yoga, literally every person can find their groove in this fitness medium, reap substanti
