What are you thinking?

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: What are you thinking? What do you notice when you pay attention to your thoughts? In this practice we explored the nature of the thoughts we notice in our field of awareness. We paid attention to how our thoughts manifest, we also noticed their fluctuations, their location, their origin. We also explored staying with a thought and trying to bring it to completion. https://simple-yoga.org This content is inspired by the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali according to the book Unravel the Thread by Ruben Vasquez available at: Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737648202/ #yoga #simpleyoga #yogasimple #unravelthethread #yogasutra #patanjali #patanjaliyogasutra #presence yoga, yoga sutra,yoga philosophy, patanjali, awareness, consciousness, meditation, presence, memory, applied philosophy, yoga practice, pranayama, pratyahara, concentration, presence

Are you a follower?

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Are you a follower? Would you rather follow a teacher or a teaching? Part of the learning process involves recognizing if the teacher is trustworthy and well-intentioned.
