Class with Jean at the Yoga Spirit Festival Malaysia, 11th & 12th October 2014:

All That is Bound will be Unbound 

Drawing from the Patanjali Yoga Sutras. In his 1st chapter 2nd verse he says Yogashchitta vritti nirodaha - Yoga is the dissolution of fluctuations in the consciousness.

The monkey mind binds us to unwholesomeness , to matters that keep us sticky and stuck, and we allow our egos to rule and dominate. With this sequence, there will be an interplay of binding-unbinding sequences, which is intended to create skillful awareness in us that we do not have to be bound and attached to habits and traits that keep us stuck.
