Being in synch with the internal and external rhythms of nature is essential to our well-being. One of the gifts of yoga and its sister science, ayurveda, is their ability to engender in us a growing sensitivity to our own prana so that we learn to move through our lives with steadiness (sthira) and ease (sukha). These two Sanskrit terms are familiar to most yoga students from an oft-quoted aphorism in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra: sthira-sukham asanam which is most commonly translated, “posture (asana) [should be] stable (sthira) and comfortable (sukha),” but is more literally translated as “resolutely abide in a good space.” Becoming established in “good space,” however, is only possible when our prana is healthy. And cultivating healthy prana is a process that extends beyond the edge of our yoga mat into every aspect of our daily lives. When we start infusing our yoga practice, lifestyle, diet, and relationships with sthira and sukha, we pave the way for a life of balance and spiritual insight. Join leading yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner Scott Blossom for a weekend of asana, pranayama, chanting, meditation, dialogue and reflection on how we can all live in rhythm with our prana.
