Teaching Yoga to Addicts: Temple Road Yoga: Kosha and Connection: Saturday, July 26, 2014
According to Patanjali (Sutra 2.2), the purpose of yoga is to relax the grip on what is keeping us small and disconnected. The koshas are a model that can help us see more clearly in the many layers of the self so we can see the deeper Truth. To be in the place of Truth is good for us, and its good for others.
We endeavored to align with the deepest part of ourself and discovered how suffering happens as a result of not seeing clearly.
