We often cling to control. We cling to the way we think it should be. We cling to the past. The heat of summer clings to fall. As we resist life changes and the evolution of time, it can become a fight against the natural flow of our lives. This can cause us frustration and anxiety.

Yoga teaches us to find strength and beauty in surrender, to let go of resistance, and to embrace the concept of letting go. There is a term in our Yoga Sutras and our Eight Limbs of Yoga for this process called Isvara Pranidhana. It is the last NiYama in the first limb of yoga.

By incorporating the concept of Isvara Pranidhana into our yoga practice, we can learn to release our grip on our desires and allow life to unfold in its own way. The power of surrender can help us cultivate trust, faith, and inner wisdom.

The Art of Surrender

Isvara Pranidhana is one of yoga’s five niyamas or personal observances. It translates to “surrender to a higher power” or “devotion to the divine.” In essence, it means letting go of the need to control and trusting that there is a greater force at work in our lives. We gain a sense of peace and purpose by surrendering to this force. As we surrender on our yoga mat, it encourages us to let go of our attachments and to connect with a deeper sense of meaning and our own inner wisdom

Finding a sense of surrender in your yoga practice can be a beautiful way to deepen your connection with yourself and the world around you. Here are some tips on how to do so:

In the end, surrendering is a practice that can lead to greater beauty and wisdom in our lives. When we let go of control and allow life to unfold naturally, we tap into a deeper sense of purpose and connection. We learn to trust in the universe and ourselves and discover a tool for growth and transformation. The beauty and wisdom of surrender lie in its ability to help us find resilience, flexibility, and innovation in the face of life’s challenges. So take a deep breath and surrender to the journey – trust that everything is unfolding exactly as it should.

Sound healing works by sending sound waves throughout the body helping restore balance at a cellular level. The benefits include deep relaxation, better sleep, increased brain wave frequency and decreased stress and anxiety.  Feel free to bring blankets, pillows, essential oils, or anything else to make your practice more comfortable. All levels welcome!
