So excited to be training in Insight Yoga with Sarah Powers in Thailand, starting on Wednesday! Staying still in various poses will undoubtedly bring up lots of emotions. As we surrender into the sensations, we have the opportunity to acknowledge all that arises within us, allowing ourselves time to fully inhabit our emotions, without the compulsion to act out because of them...we train ourselves to open to the experience. This capacity to remain attentive and nonjudgemental toward what we are experiencing naturally transforms the experience from one of struggling with difficulty to one of opening up to challenges...There is a common misconception that we should be able to control or eradicate pain. Although yoga poses do often bring some relief to blocked areas of the body, we will still have to endure discomforting pains as long as we are in this body. Instead of expecting to miraculously become pain free from a yoga practice, we can utilize the poses to help us fully inhabit our bodies with dignity and care, whether we are experiencing pleasure or pain. If we want to learn how to come home to our bodies, we have to take up residence in every corner of ourselves Sarah Powers, Insight Yoga
