Classes held at The Yoga Nook in person or on Zoom. Get ready for the festive season by cultivating attitudes of the heart as we practice yoga.
We’ll do our usual yoga asanas within the context of sutra 1.33.
In sutra 1.33 Patanjali suggests we cultivate the four great attitudes of the heart – friendliness or loving kindness, compassion, joy for others, and equanimity, as the pathway to peace and happiness.
Maitri = friendliness, loving kindness
Karuna = compassion, great love
Mudito = sympathetic joy, gladness
Upekshanam = equanimity
Sukha = happiness, those who are happy
Duhkha = sorrow, those who are suffering
Punya = those who are virtuous
Apunya = those who are malevolent
Vishayanam = Objects, persons
Bhavanatah = feelings, attitudes
Chitta = mind
Prasadanam = purification
The Sanskrit roughly translates as:
Loving kindness and friendliness towards the happy, compassion for the sorrowful, joy for others and equanimity, or being undisturbed by events and not being drawn into judgement or contempt are the four attitudes that will bring peace of mind.
