Control Vs Participation
I believe more problems occur when we try to control behavior–others’ as well as our own behavior. In Yoga, we learn a different approach. We learn to ask ourselves “How can we participate and co-create situations.” I try to teach students to pause and receive all situations as they are offered to them. I teach them to be respons -able, ideally, with love and compassion. To participate and co-create in situations is a much softer and much more loving approach to life.

Rajanaka is the lineage of my yoga philosophy teacher Dr. Douglas Brooks, one of the world’s leading scholars of Hindu Tantrism .Rajanaka says that, as embodied beings, we will and should have the full spectrum of human emotions and experiences including anger, fear, happiness, courage, desire, grief, wonder, disgust, and peace. Yoga is not about stopping these experiences from happening, but how we can open to receive the gifts that these experiences offer us. We do this by fully engaging life and stepping into its currents of joy and challenges with and open heart and courage..
