Snapshots and a Sutra from New Mexico; Plus a WF Challenge!


text and photos by steve ilg

What are the whispers shared by ducklings
as their feet paddle in frenzied manner
within the velveteen wake of their Mother?
Family Yoga might best be learned from the wild animals.

When family comes to gather,
ilg advises;
buckle up thy Practice, Oh Noble Seeker Of Wholeness!
Cuz, inevitably, the fortresses of our mental composure
and emotional equanimity surely shall be tested by
an unequivocal barrage of interpersonal dynamics.

ilg knows you know what i mean.

Today's Teaching is about that most difficult, advanced
Practice of all;
Family Yoga.

And Family Yoga is perhaps the highest litmus test of
the state of our Practice.

So, buckle up and bring it!



In this Teaching, i share with you my most-relied upon Yoga Sutra of Patanjali's
to help my feeble Practice retain a degree of mastery while involved
in family gatherings.

photo; my dad and i designed this Family Gathering so we might be able to go fishing. The fact that it was my parents' 55th Anniversary seemed secondary to my dad. Trout were the priority.
