{tapas}
Our third Niyamas is self-discipline. Who couldn’t use a little more of that?!
Tapas mean heat and denotes the passionate commitment required to bring on change. Call upon your tapas in times when you are struggling with your commitment- to self-improvement, holding a tough yoga pose, or struggling to reset temptation.
Next time you’re struggling, imagine hot glowing coals inside you and persevere!
Yoga in Relationships
Relationships can be more challenging than the most advanced yoga poses. No matter who is on the other end of a conflict- a friend, family member, coworker, schoolmate, or colleague- you can diffuse many situations by applying a yoga mindset and a few simple techniques.
BREATHE
EPS started out as a tribute of sorts to the book Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. It was a chance to get grounded for a few hours and meditate with mala beads, a chant from the book, readings from the novel, and food. Six years later the core is still the same, though I have taken it away from following any kind of story.
My mission it to make a student feel like they are the only one in the room. To plant a seed that grows into a movement. A movement that takes their daydreams to real life.
