Vinyasa Basics: Sweet Surrender. 10.5.10

Sutra 1.12 says the vrittis are mastered through equal parts practice and surrender/non attachment. For most my adult life I've been only concerned with practice and effort. It wasn't until I learned surrender that i began to feel some sense of internal aligment. I am grateful for the teachings of yoga.

Today we practiced with a special emphasis on vairagya.
