A good yoga practice leads us into being at home in our own bodies. Being at home in our own body spaces and thus being aware of our own needs, the deep regulation of the nervous system, all this supports us enormously to live a life in freedom and peace. The practice of meditation, and yoga is also a meditation (in movement), looking at thoughts, feelings, sensations and patterns without identifying myself with them, influences life towards happiness and fulfillment.

How could I fix a practice that is so valuable, that “saved me” from the delusions of greed, rejection and ignorance (and by that I mean also and especially all the very small dissatisfactions of wanting to have and not wanting to have), that I experience as deeply fulfilling to a value?

Our spiritual practice is a path to inner peace, peace that spreads into our surroundings, to our neighbors and through that into the whole world. That is priceless, isn’t it?

My classes, seminars, videos, the thoughts and images shared in blog posts … all of it is worth as much as it serves you.

Dana is a practice that supports my livelihood. And it’s a way of showing me if what I’m offering is supportive and helpful to you. Because when I lose that outside support, it tells me something about how I am in the world, how my offerings are received, and I can make a difference.
