Sweet Vinyasa: The Skill isn't Bakasana: December 6, 2013

Freedom from the mind, as the texts put it, the kleshas, helps us see the love of who we really are. We practiced pulling the vrittis from the head and into the body where the wisdom is to experience ourselves outside the realm of the usual distractions caused by the fluxuations of the mind.
