“Living the Practice”
“Inhale, and God approaches you. Hold the inhalation, and God remains with you. Exhale, and you approach God. Hold the exhalation, and surrender to God.” - T Krishnamacharya
We are born, sentient beings contained in matter, here to learn, to grow, to evolve and to experience. Thus outside of strategy, influence, even free will choice, Earth is a center of education. A place in which we navigate a full spectrum of life events in order to transcend attachment and aversion. A path to unite all aspects of our being, to wash away condition and illusion. A journey to oneness and remembrance.
As a whole Earthschool’s directives and values align perfectly with the intent to enhance as well as support existence on Earth and the expansion of the human spirit. Through all of our offerings we hope to inspire and awaken the natural world within you. And from this awakening provide a buffer of peace and wellness, that feeling within that all is well and each breath is a gift. In its essence this directive motivates the practitioner to live the practice, to embody the principles of Yoga in each and every moment, with absolute presence and faithful devotion.
Our time here, regardless of our choices or beliefs, is not always easy or as we foresee it to be. At times the more we evolve, the more we are tested. However the wisdom of the practice remains simple yet penetrating. It is not the external construct that defines us. It is in fact our ability to remain grateful, loving and composed within the impermanence and continual fluctuation of the world around us.
From local classes to specialty workshops, rituals, teacher trainings, retreats and more, we seek to offer Yoga as a holistic experience. All layers of which are intimately connected to a specific intention or elemental quality that unravels and integrates uniquely within you the practitioner. We view the practice as a living organism, an intelligent force aligned with the natural laws of the universe.
Earthschool aims to create a vessel, a container, fertile soil for the practice to present itself exactly how it must. This in truth is alchemical Yoga, a doorway to ritual, magic, and transformation of our whole being. With unyielding trust and commitment to the pillars of Yoga, there is potential to taste even for a passing moment, peace, wisdom and luminosity.
Inclusivity rests at the heart of Earthschool’s vision. We welcome all with a loving and kind heart, free of condition or expectation. Within everyone, we acknowledge the seeker, the mirror, the divine spark which unites us as one.
Living the practice is what we hope to inspire in every student and in ourselves. Contingent only on willingness, curiosity and intention. Earthschool Yoga embraces all paths, all beings and all modalities as leading to the same radiant source. We humbly invite you and your journey to merge with ours, as a means to cultivate profound experience, authentic connection, growth, renewal and healing. - Namaste
