We did a sweet sequence. Once we got to Pawanmuktasana, the student really felt the difference described as "great!" with a huge grin. Then we sat in Sukhasana, so very sweet (sukha) as seated side stretch. The final twist opened the student into and then there was a sinking into final Shavasana. The report after class..."This is great!...No tension in my body and I feel stretched...relaxed."  M...

I needed that!!! It  was a pilgrimage to Kavi's class. I was running late, went back into the house after realizing I hadn't the keys, then, there was traffic due to a farm equipment show. Finally, I arrived. As soon as I lied down in Shavasana, I felt better. My back wasn't sore or stiff any more and my neck / shoulder stopped spasming. My mind started to settle and I began Ujjayi pranayama. Kav...

Feeling Great!

Posted by Sarvataa Christie on Friday, July 5, 2013, In : Yoga 

I am in such a sweet place. In my body, in my mind and so very much more! I've returned from a three day stay at Svaroopa® Vidya Ashram. I made my pilgrimage down early Sunday morning for Swami Sunday at Kashi, then had lunch, a nap, meditation and supper. How very sweet! The next day followed with the ashram's practices and seva (service) at Master Yoga Foundation. What a sweet treat! I was able to be a fly on the wall, well a bit more than that as I was taking photos, during the second to ...

This morning's Guru Gita Chant

Posted by Sarvataa Christie on Thursday, June 27, 2013, In : Yoga 
This morning's Guru Gita chant was especially lovely. Usually, on the Guru's Day, Thursday, I partake in the Shishya Guru Gita Call. I get to my meditation room, dial in and there's Swamiji and my yoga buddies at Kashi and on the other end of the phone :)  This is a wonderful way to connect when I don't make the almost 2 hour pilgrimage. Actually, I have been intending to make it to Kashi for this program since last summer! Today was my very first time!!!
I was simply awake and ready to go at ...

A Yoga Day, All Day, Every Day, it's all Yoga.

Posted by Sarvataa Christie on Tuesday, June 25, 2013, In : Yoga 


My day started with short meditation. My mind gives me such trouble during this time! Swamiji said this is why it's important for me to maintain this morning practice. I do get a sweet afternoon practice where I usually dip in so deeply. The 3 - 5 pm time is a sweet time (just in case the 3 am isn't happening right now!)...
The day ensues with meals, errands, seva, giving Embodyment® and teaching a Semi- Private in my home session space, personal ujjayi and asana, reading Tadaa! and listing t...

Svaroopa® Yoga Student

Posted by Sarvataa Christie on Monday, June 24, 2013, In : Yoga 


Many of you know me as your teacher, some as your student, and some as both! Well, today I had the pleasure to experience being a student fully by taking class. How sweet to be in a supported environment where I can get deeper while doing the Magic Four! I have been practicing this sequence (The Magic Four) at home as part of my Daily Practice since returning from training last week. Today in class, I was led through this sequence twice, my alignments were checked, and the timings tracked for...

Embodied

Posted by Sarvataa Christie on Sunday, June 23, 2013, In : Yoga 
Such a sweet Sunday Treat! Lying in Shavasana, surrender already begins.  Then, the adjustments! How heavenly!

After being Embodied on the first side, my therapist inquired with me.."My neck is longer" was my awareness.

Then the second side..I sank. I became unconscious in Consciousness; a sweet dip into the inner depths of stillness and peace. The inner realms of Self-Knowingness; Timelessness; The place where I simply Am.

Then, oh! The spinal walk up. I melted tail to top as fingers walked alo...

Daily Practice

Posted by Sarvataa Dorothea Christie on Saturday, June 22, 2013, In : Yoga 
Another beautiful day full of grace! I'll do my part with my disciple's grace. Ujjayi pranayama, the Magic Four, Meditation, Japa (mantra repetition), studying the sacred texts and the Guru Gita, listening to Swamiji's talks and other preparations for Sweet Meditation. My sadhana (yogic practices) brings me deeper inside, closer and closer to the established knowing of my own Self. My sadhana is seva; my life is seva.
