Week 4 (9/22-9/26)
Satya: Truth. The highest rule of conduct and morality.
Class Discussion: Are you truthful in thought, word and deed?
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words;
Watch your words, for they become actions;
Watch your actions, for they become habits;
Watch your habits, for they become character;
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
~Upanishads
Three Levels of Truth:
1. Basic Communication that we seek in daily lives
2. Integrity: Internal honesty.
3. Actively becoming the truth of the Universe.
“There is no way to move toward wholeness, while caught up in a web of lies”
~Living Your Yoga
“When the practitioner is firmly established in the practice of the truth, his words become so potent that whatever he says comes to realization.”
~Yoga Sutra
Practice:
Pranayama: Nadi Sodhana
Asana: Vinyasa Flow
Guided Meditation: Mirror in the Soul
Journaling:
How easy or difficult is it for you to be truthful with yourself?

I knew yesterday in yoga I wasn't going to look forward to it. But, when we started opening up and sharing things about ourselves that you wouldn't normally tell people, I was at peace. I do believe I lie to myself, hopefully not a lot, but I realize that I do. The past week, I have really asked for God's hands to guide me to the right direction. Today, I felt like he really was there with me as I was at the 'Meet Me At the Pole'. I met really great people. I'm looking forward to yoga again.
I LOVEEEEEE yoga!!!! It is truly something I will now do for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for introducing me to such a wonderful thing. I look forward to yoga class every week and I tell everyone about it and how much yoga helps me. I have always been a person to stress easily and this year I have really been working on being myself, being true to myself and connecting with my inner connection and peace. So yoga is perfect for me. I love it and you're a great teacher. I'm looking forward to what I'll able to do by the end of the year and how i will be able to take the lessons with me through the rest of my life.
