I magnetized towards the Sanskrit word svadhyaya the moment I came across it. At basic level it means ‘introspection’ or ‘the study of the self’. It remains firmly pressed in my mind.
In the practice of Yoga, svadhyaya is a tool, guide, and an eternal companion – an essential element for those on the path to spiritual enlightenment and a liberated state of existence.
Basically it is an imperative for all people to “know thyself.” I believe that one unearths tremendously more about their feelings and motivations through studying oneself. By taking the effort to truly understand who we are we can find acquaintance with the Supreme that exists within us.
This idea of putting in the work to understand who I am in the context of my own ‘self’ and the wider world is what drives my own yoga practice and my teachings. I think it is the most crucial and empowering work to be done and I am incredibly grateful to share in that process with you all.
