Form Follows Function: Moving Mindfully, Cueing Effectively�DEBBI MURPHY, PHD, ERYT500
Yoga is 99% awareness. In this session, we investigate why Form always follows Function & both give us greater understanding of the Flow of Life. When we understand WHY we’re doing an asana, we can better understand the form…& this awareness, provides an informed understanding of how the body works.

Deconstruct to Recontruct.
JACLYN COOPERRIDER, MD, RYT200
Dive Deep Into Asanas with the Filter of Biomechanics, Anatomy & Physiology!
Here we deconstruct our Asanas to answer YOUR questions regarding each.
�

The Yoga Sutras describe 8 limbs, but the one most recognizable is asana. For many, asana is their first & only exposure…& therefore, it is incumbent upon yoga teachers to teach asana carefully with consideration of right attitude (the yamas & niyamas), right action (biomechanically sound alignment, form), right intent (knowledge of the function of each asana) and right mindfulness (meditation in movement, flow). Asana is truly the tip of the iceberg; in these sessions, we learn how to teach & practice asana to go deeper.
This workshop is part of our Shanti Yoga Teacher Training curriculum but open to others who would like to dive deeper into asana’s “alchemy”. Registered with Yoga Alliance, all participants receive CEU’S or Shanti Yoga Teacher Training training hours.

I have never believed that you must completely love yourself first before you can love another. I know many people who are hard on themselves, yet love their friends and family deeply and are loved in return — though they might have difficulty in receiving that love. But it’s hard to sustain love for others over the long haul until we have a sense of inner abundance and sufficiency.

When we experience inner impoverishment, love for another too easily becomes hunger: for reassurance, for acclaim, for affirmation of our worth. Feeling incomplete inside ourselves, we search for others to complete us. But the equation doesn’t work that way: we can’t gain from others what we’re unable to give ourselves.

It’s important to recognize that self-love is an unfolding process that gains strength over time, not a goal with a fixed end point. When we start to pay attention, we see that we’re challenged daily to act lovingly on our own behalf. Simple gestures of respect — care of the body, rest for the mind, and beauty for the soul in the form of music and art or nature — are all ways of showing ourselves love. Really, all of our actions — from how we respond when we can’t fit into our favorite jeans to the choice of foods we eat — can signify self-love or self-sabotage. So can the way we react when a stranger cuts us off in line, a friend does something hurtful, or we get an unwelcome medical diagnosis.

As Maya Angelou said in her book Letter to My Daughter, “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” I started meditation practice, as many do, with the need to turn around that tendency to feel reduced by life.

Still, it takes a special courage to challenge the rigid confines of our accustomed story. It’s not that easy to radically alter our views about where happiness comes from, or what brings us joy. But it’s eminently possible. We truly can reconfigure how we see ourselves and reclaim the love for ourselves that we’re innately capable of. That’s why I invite students to set out on this path in the spirit of adventure, instead of feeling that real love is a pass/fail exam that they’re scared to take.

Although love is often depicted as starry-eyed and sweet, love for the self is made of tougher stuff. It’s not a sappy form of denial. You still might feel rage, desire, and shame like everyone else in the world, but you can learn to hold these emotions in a context of wisdom.

Real love allows for failure and suffering. All of us have made real mistakes, and some of those mistakes were consequential, but you can find a way to relate to them with kindness. No matter what troubles have befallen you or what difficulties you have caused yourself or others, with love for yourself you can change, grow, make amends, and learn. Real love is not about letting yourself off the hook. Real love does not encourage you to ignore your problems or deny your mistakes and imperfections. You see them clearly and still opt to love.

If we want things that are always changing to stay the same and get attached to them, we get disappointed, we suffer. If we get attached to something staying the way it is, it does not stop changing. Trying to hold onto "how it was" will only create suffering and disappointment, because life is a river and everything changes.
So when we start to see the laws of nature — that things are impermanent, that attachment causes pain — we can also sense that there must be some other way. And there is. It is the way that can be called "the wisdom of insecurity." This is the ability to flow with the changes, to see everything as a process of change, to relax with uncertainty.
Meditation teaches us to stay centered in the midst of change. Once we see that everything is impermanent and ungraspable and that we create a huge amount of suffering if we are attached to things staying the same, we realize that letting go is a wiser way to live. We realize that gain and loss, praise and blame, pain and pleasure are part of the dance of life. Letting go does not mean not caring about things. It means caring for them in a flexible and wise way.

Excerpt: “Meditation for Beginners”

For me, growing up on the East Coast meant the pleasure of seeing fireflies in the summer. But my daughter, who was born in California, had never seen one. In our travels we discovered there were fireflies in the tropical nights of Bali. After she went to bed one night, I tucked in her mosquito net, then went out and caught a few. Her eyes were closed. I put them in her net and whispered for her to wake up. They flew around inside her net until we let them out, and she was totally captivated by their luminous trails in the night. How improbable and fantastic, how unlikely to have beautiful insects with soft blinking lights—yet this is no more unlikely than our loving hearts. Our hearts shine in the same way as the fireflies, with the same light as the sun and the moon.
