Session 1: Awe and the Willingness to be Surprised

 

Shiva Sutra 1.12 says wonder is the foundation of  yoga. So we will start here because in wonder we are in a state of open mindedness. One of the definitions of  yoga is a quieting of the mind (YS 1.2) for the purpose of seeing a deeper Truth (YS 1.3).

To be at home in your heart, for real, requires a deep surrender of what you think love should look like.  Yogis say our mind can’t possibly know everything about everything. We are loved very much and everything is OK.  This class is dedicated to the incredibly freeing relief in the alignments of wonder, awe, and the willingness to be surprised.
