Viva Mokṣa Community

As they say, it is not about the destination, it is about the journey.

I believe this to be true.

It takes a village, it takes a community, it takes willpower to find the joy.

Tuesdays are a treasure - simply because it is an opportunity to be in nature, to challenge discomfort of uncontrollable factors such as temperature, and to give the body the freedom to shake off excess energy from the day (or perhaps to attune it to the RIGHT energy), before nighttime.

I am so grateful for all who showed up to the first yoga class in Wendell Falls.

I also owe a big chunk of gratitude to Nate, who not only showed up help set up, but also has a heart of gold and a discipline to priorities that we should all find inspiring. (I know I do).

Disclaimer: Traditional Ayurvedic teachings generally consider bananas and dairy yogurt an incompatible combination (viruddha ahara) because it is thought to be heavy, mucus-forming, and potentially difficult to digest for some people.

However, since I am using almond-coconut yogurt (from Trader Joe's) this plant-based yogurt is less problematic.

Bananas: sweet, heavy, grounding; can increase Kapha when eaten in excess.

Blueberries: astringent and sweet; generally lighter and considered easier to combine with other fruits.

Adding banana makes the meal heavier and may not be ideal if you tend to have sluggish digestion, bloating, or mucus. (Kapha dosha or imbalance)

An Ashtanga workshop focused on the opening mantra, ashtanga asanas, and breath control.

The only thing that was out of control was the timing!

However, we dug deep into the basics (Surya Namaskars) and understanding the standing sequence.

Thank you all for your efforts, discipline, and joy.

We can only keep going up from here!🕉️

Samsāra is the state of being caught in patterns:

• habitual thoughts

• emotional loops

• conditioned reactions

• suffering created by clinging and aversion

The way to break free from this endless cycle is by Mokṣa (Mok-sha).

Mokṣa is the freedom from the compulsions of the mind and karmic patterns that keep the wheel of samsara turning.

Viva Mokṣa Community group is a space for positive energy, including experiential joys and higher wisdom based on liberation, (Mokṣa).

This community promotes kindness and gentleness with each other.

There is no right, there is no wrong, there is only harmony.

Any posts that do not align with a harmonious intention, will be deleted.
