What Are We Resisting?

This practice invites us to reflect on what keeps us from recognizing our resistances, and to understand why we hold ourselves back from true happiness. This happiness, which Swami Sivananda calls our birthright: where can we actually find it this fall? How can we bring more calm into our lives, let go of excessive expectations and act in ways that won’t lead to regret? A reflective practice that seeks answers with the help of yoga philosophy, along with a physical practice showing that asanas and pranayama affect every aspect of our lives.

Two-hour class (1 hour of philosophy, 1 hour of asanas and pranayama) once a week for 4 weeks, $140, Thursdays from November 26 to December 17 at 6:15 p.m.
