Pranayama Removes the Veil
| Yoga Sutra II.52 Pranayama removes the veil covering the light of intelligence and heralds the dawn of wisdom. Pranayama is considered one of the most important disciplines of yoga, as it opens us up to higher knowledge, sense of well being and joy. Yoga can be practiced for many hours, covering many asanas or postures but until there is wisdom regarding what you are practicing, yoga is merely calisthenics. Imagine a cloudy day. You can tell that it is daytime but the light of the sun is obscured by the clouds. Then a breath of wind blows in that removes all the clouds and what is left is the magnificence of the sun. We already know everything there is to know about ourselves as sentient beings but the veil of ignorance keeps this knowledge out of reach. The change that happens with learning how to use the breath to reveal the Self is extraordinary. Seek this knowledge by any means necessary, through books, or a learned person. This practice needs careful consideration, as the effects are very powerful indeed. Don’t worry about where you will be able to find the proper training for Pranayama as it is said when the student is ready, the teacher will appear! |

| Mask Requirements In keeping with one of the 8 Limbs of Yoga – Ahimsa, which means to do no harm to any living thing, we are requiring again, the use of masks for any person attending class at DSY. I believe if there is a chance I could help keep someone safe by wearing a mask I will err on the side of compassion. The masks will be worn arriving and leaving the studio. Masks can be removed once you are on your mat. |
