{ishvara pranidhana}

The last of our five Niyamas, our second limb of yoga, means surrender. This can mean surrendering yo your divinity- God, nature, the present moment – whatever it means to you.

Release attachments to outcomes, release yourself release yourself from judgements, expectations, your ego.
Surrender to the idea that there is something bigger than yourself. You are exactly where you were meant to be and everything is working out.

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.
