What is sincerity? How can we deepen it? And how do we recognize when it is truly present in us?
We engage in practices that nurture the well-being of body and mind—this is our sadhana. Yet at times, we unconsciously undermine those efforts. One foot presses the accelerator, while the other rests on the brake.
In this workshop, Swami Asokananda will offer heartfelt insights and practical tools to help us become more earnest and focused on the spiritual path. Learn how to release the brake, press the gas with confidence, and move forward with greater clarity, sincerity, and inner momentum.
“If you are earnest, whatever way you choose will take you to your goal. It is the earnestness that is the decisive factor. Earnestness is the homing instinct which makes the bird return to its nest and the fish to the mountain stream where it was born. The seed returns to the earth when the fruit is ripe.” Nisargadatta Maharaj
Everyone is welcome to stay for tea and visit with Swami Asokananda afterwards.
This workshop will be recorded for later viewing and shared for 2 weeks with all enrolled students.
Swami Asokananda, a monk since 1973, is one of Integral Yoga’s foremost teachers, known for his warmth, intelligence, and good humor. His teaching comes out of his own practice and experience, since he has absorbed the wisdom of his guru, Sri Swami Satchidananda, since the age of 19. While he enjoys sharing the practical wisdom of the Yogic philosophy (especially that of the great Indian scripture the Bhagavad Gita), he also loves his practice of Hatha Yoga and is one of our primary instructors for Intermediate and Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training. In the past, he has served as the president of Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville® and Integral Yoga® International; he is currently the President of the New York Integral Yoga Institute.
