Three Rivers Yoga & Lotus Heart Rising - Our Intention
From our hearts, our intention is to guide the student on a journey of accessing the teacher within. At Three Rivers Yoga and Lotus Heart Rising, the student’s full potential is gradually unfolded through the exploration of the Eight Limbs of Yoga. Yoga is about finding peace and stillness within our hearts.
“When we realize that what we are advancing toward is not some physical form but an inward recognition of the truth of who we are, then we will not feel ourselves to be failing if we cannot attain difficult postures.”
~ Donna Farhi, Bringing Yoga to Life: The Everyday Practice of Enlightened Living
As stated in the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, 1.2, " Yogas citta vrtti nirodhah,Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind." This is the practice of yoga. When we practice in this manner without grasping, judging and striving, the deeper aspects of yoga unfold automatically within our being. Through this more complete exploration, the student begins to experience harmony within the mind, body and spirit.
We honor all traditions of yoga, “the paths are many, however, the truth is one”. |
