184 exploring desire, part 1

I have LOVED hearing from all of you about how those practices are feeling.If you have a minute, let me know what you loved the most about the at-home retreat by emailing me at [email protected].

Thank you. LOVE.

Today's class is all about desire. In yoga philosophy, being overly attached to the object of one's desires is a principle obstacle to the state of yoga, being yoked, liberation. We call it raga, and it is one of the kleshas (obstacles to clear sight). In this class, we talk about the practice of feeling-in to the sensations of desire without getting to drunk on the object of the desire. OH SWEETHEART, do this and things start to get super interesting.

Interested in learning more about the kleshas? I would love to invite you to drop deeper into your practice and join us in an immersion this spring. The Whole Yoga Spring Immersion includes: • 7 one-hour interactive classes online (classes are recorded for future reference and for those who cannot attend in real-time); • reading assignments and inquiry for reflection; • weekly yoga movement practice videos that provide embodied context for the work; • weekly guided audio meditations to invite an ultra-deep experience of the practices.Learn more about this opportunity to deepen your connection to practice, self and this community right here.

Stay in touch. LOVE you.kellysamadhirush.com
