Sweet Vinyasa: Santosha, Gratitude and Connection: 8.13.12

Subbing this Monday morning for Kira.

We practiced putting some effort towards ease and a spacious heart by practicing contentment and gratitude, and noticing the resulting connection to ourselves and to the world. Some of the principles to help guide us were sutra 1.12, santosha, avidya, and Rumi's poetry (or task is not to look for love but to find the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
