Скачать или смотреть 5/8/20 sensory flow (pratyahara in action) 60min

In this video, I encourage you to practice the whole time with your eyes closed. Pratyahara is one of Patanjali's eight limbs on the yogic path and it's the inward drawing of the senses to (at least in part) guide us away from the distractions and temptations of the human experience and to orient us towards our inner wisdom and teacher. I first began practicing with my eyes closed a few years ago when I learned I had inherited a genetic degenerative eye disease. As part of my grieving process, it gave me a safe place to explore moving my body through space without using my eyes and to feel certain that there was at least one thing I loved that wouldn't become inaccessible if/when I started to notice the effects on my vision. What I discovered though was that it also helped me return more solidly to myself when I was feeling lost in others or pulled in a million directions. The empath and recovering people-pleaser in me started to find it a relief to practice pratyahara (the inward drawing of the senses) during my asana practice. I found I learned a lot of new things about my physical and subtle body patterns, as well.



You may be sheltering in place with others right now and feeling like you don't have the privacy or alone time you may be craving. Your eyes may be tired from millions of Zoom meetings. You may feel overwhelmed and confused and anxious about all the competing and often contradictory advice you're hearing in the world.

Perhaps this practice will help you feel more centered again. May it be so.


As always, this practice is whole body although it moves a little slower and offers more grounding/gentler variations should you need that.
