More tips tricks and suggestions from your favorite yoga students.

Kimber and Billy wanted to share with you some stories of amazing folks that we’ve met along our yoga journies.

After discussing the five Kleishas; Avidya (ignorance, Asmita (ego), Raga (attachment), Dvesha (refusing the negative) and Abhinivesha (fear of death), let’s review how we work through these in our daily lives.

Attachment - but when we refuse to allow change, growth or loss.

The avoidance of pain, discomfort, or challenges removes the sweetness from the happiness and joy we actually receive.

We all want to be happy and feel joy, however, these loose their sweetness if that is the only thing we experience.

Understanding attachment and ego are essential for finding harmony with ourselves and with the world around us.

Taking on the Kleishas invites introspection and challenges us to see ourselves where we are in the moment, Ignorance, Avidya, may not be the bliss that we thought it would be.

The yogic understanding of suffering can be broken down into five categories or ‘The Kleishas’. These five ideas are considered the sources of suffering in our lives and having studied The Eight Limbs of Yoga, we can take on The Five Kleishas with tools and tactics to help make the small adjustments that lead to bigger understanding which reinforce our yoga journey.
