Yoga is often translated as union, but can also be understood as a disunion from all that is rooted in ignorance. This is helpful in making clear that the goal of yoga is not to change our nature but merely to remove the obstacles in the way of that nature. These obstacles are ingrained, inherited and often unconscious patterns which influence our thoughts, speech, desires and actions and they are rarely recognized, let alone questioned. Yoga demands that we observe our minds! What do I consume through my senses and how does it effect my mind-body? How do I breathe, what is the general direction of my thoughts? What am I identified with and does it bring me inner order, inner peace and inner joy? All paths of yoga- karma, bhakti, jñāna, rāja and haṭha are systems which remove the different kinds of obstacles to the vast peace which is already within all of us. Yoga is not based on a collective dream, a social construct or blind faith. Yoga is both the truth of who we already are and the practical, verifiable methods to help us live that truth. Yogic methods are universally inclusive and available to all of us, regardless of our backgrounds! You only need your will to begin. And you can start now with one conscious and compassionate breath. The state of yoga, a state free from inner ignorance, endless desire, fragmentation and fear can be experienced here, now. It starts with you.

Ten things we practice at home which allow us to live our best lives together: 1. We practice cleanliness and order and all know to pick up after ourselves. 2. We cultivate calm minds by refraining from multi-tasking as well as laziness. 3.We express and articulate ourselves with respect to others and refrain from aggressive tones, aggressive music or hurtful words. 3. We read books together. 4. We validate each other’s feelings and practice listening to one another. 5. We have a schedule that keeps us organized. We stick to our bed times and create a quiet atmosphere before bed. 6. We eat sattvic whole foods and drink water. 7.We move our bodies and go for walks outside. 8. We express our gratitude for our home, ancestors, family, teachers, friends and the earth and say prayers in our own words before going to sleep. 9. We spend time together fully so that we naturally develop the ability to enjoy time alone. 10. We cultivate patience for each other and choose to focus on our sincere efforts rather than our mistakes.

Love and all is coming means cultivating and prioritizing loving awareness, and the loving action which follows over any other fleeting thought, feeling or impulse. #loveandalliscoming #laaic #yoga #family #37 wearing @aloyoga

Āsana from ages 22-27. I’m 37 now, should I make a part 2? #loveandalliscoming #yoga #practice

Love is already within you in the endless space of your heart. You can feel it in the still, silent space beyond the past and the future, beyond all that is in flux. It’s there, in the beating of your heart, beating along with the eternal beat of the universe, a drum of unconditional love. 🏹❤️ #loveandalliscoming

To force a discipline is to remain bound. Discipline and devotion can become effortless when we realize the futility of clinging again and again to all that causes our internal suffering. Let yourself be pulled like a magnet to your practice and to dharma by negating all that binds the mind in ignorance. #loveandalliscoming #yoga #practice photos: @ezrabaderman, wearing @aloyoga

Yoga practice is a lifetimes practice. The transformations that occur as a result of the practice are both visible and non visible, temporary and also permanent. The results of practice do not appear over night. Consistent and sincere practice over a long time has the power of water cutting through rock. #loveandalliscoming #practice #yoga Practice with me at home: taliasutra.com (try one week free) or join a training to get to the bottom of things 🤍 photos: @ezrabaderman // wearing @aloyoga 🙏

When we take responsibility for our thoughts, moods, feelings, beliefs, words and actions- we shift ourselves from the sticky powerlessness of impulse and into the liberating power of response, endurance and purification. #yoga #nature #sadhana #practice wearing: @aloyoga

Our relationship with ourselves dictates the quality and nature of our relationships with all. The greatest gift we can offer our loved ones is our own inner peace. #loveandalliscoming #yoga #family #besties photos: @ezrabaderman wearing @aloyoga

Ardha Śalabhāsana- Half Locust 11 years apart. When I was 25 I was living and teaching in NYC. This was about 3 years before I met Ezra and 4 years before I had my first baby! And of course also years before I established LAAIC…life was very different then in many ways. Still- the common thread is the love and devotion for the practice which has grown deeper with every year. There may not be very visible differences between the videos, but many unseen transformations have taken place. Practice removes all that is false. It is a gradual process.. I wanted to share these mostly to highlight the beauty of commitment to our practice but also to note that the most significant parts of us are not seen with the physical eyes but are felt deeply in the endless space of the heart. #loveandalliscoming #yoga #practice #thenandnow

If you have a dream to do something but you are not taking the steps towards achieving it because it will take too long, please consider that the time will pass anyway. You might as well pass that time meaningfully. Pursue what you truly want. It doesn’t matter how long “it takes”. It doesn’t matter how old you are. Your time here is precious and the right time is now. When you pursue truth and act from the truth of your heart, you align and empower yourself with strength of nature and the universe- which always function and pulse with Truth. #loveandalliscoming #rtam #sadhana #yoga #inspiration photos: @ezrabaderman wearing @aloyoga
