Raga & Klesa’s

Hello Everyone,

So Mabel (my beloved furry friend) is struggling with Raga, she loves her old Faux Fur so much, yet she has this beautiful one that Santa brought her, she is attached to what used to be a beautiful, whole, Faux Fur that we could play tug of war with. BUt that is gone now, but even when given the opportunity, she often choose the old. What is going to help Mabel, well, the fact that I have thumbs and can throw the old one away, but who is going to help you “throw away your old patterns”?

Klesa’s, these are patterns that cloud our heart with a sort of a fog.
There are 5 of them: 

  • Avidya – Ignorance
  • Asmita – Egoism
  • Raga – Attachments
  • Dvesa – Aversions
  • Abhinidvesa – Fear

Considering the year that we have had, Raga is making a huge appearance for me, attachments to my friends that I cannot see, to the Yoga Community that once was, to all those things that take place in a pandemic. But my practice has been constant with me. As we look to the first of the year, I invite you to look at your Klesa’s. What’s holding you back from finding a practice that embodies YOUR entire body and soul. This is why I want to offer this to you all.

First I want to thank you for supporting me and finding your way along this path with your own practice. Yoga Therapy has helped to shift so much in my own life and I believe we can all benefit from some yoga therapy or a practice or some sort of mentoring. 

Be well. Be Safe. 
Love. Light.
