Santosha: Finding Contentment
What to Expect
In class, you'll work with the tension between effort and ease, discomfort and stillness, holding on and letting go. Santosha doesn't ask you to feel one thing. It asks you to be honest about what's actually true right now. What to expect: a moderately active slow flow with longer holds, crescent lunge, warrior two, extended side angle, camel, and a surrender series to close.
Off the Mat
Contentment off the mat doesn't mean you've got everything figured out or that you've stopped wanting things to be different. It means you've stopped fighting the truth of where you are long enough to actually feel it. That might look like being tired at the end of a good day and letting both of those things be true at the same time. Or grieving something and still feeling grateful. Or wanting more from your life and also being okay with right now. The pattern that makes this hard is the same one that shows up on the mat — the impulse to pick one feeling and resolve the rest. Santosha is the practice of noticing you don't have to.
