Physical postures are just part of the yoga. There are seven other \u201climbs\u201d to the practice. And one of them is \u201cnon-attachment,\u201d or \u201caparigraha\u201d in Sanksrit. Thanks for practicing with me.\u00a0

When I was training to become a yoga teacher one of my dear classmates suffered a horrible tragedy. Her childhood home burned down, with all her parents\u2019 things in it. She told us she was getting to experience the concept of non-attachment in real time. I couldn\u2019t believe she had the mental toughness to\u00a0come to class.

Baby photos. Mementoes from your childhood. Board games you\u2019ve played together as a family. And yet, of course, we all leave earthly things behind, eventually. However comforting it is, attachment to material things is in some way what keeps us from realizing the inevitability of that moment.\u00a0

Yoga, for me, is about balancing an acceptance of things as they are with an awareness of our desire for them to be different. I\u2019m really proud of this class (*although of course, pride is a form of attachment, itself). And so I hope you might consider taking It on when you\u2019re feeling a little bit too attached to a certain outcome. Or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
