The Inner Battle - Reflections on the Bhagavad Gita

What Do You Want To Remember?

This week's sermon dives into a foundational teaching (maybe THE foundational teaching). It asks one of our ongoing questions. And it highlights the wisdom of my teacher's teacher, TKV Desikachar.

Quieting the Restless Mind

In response to the scripture we've been studying in the Bhagavad Gita, a Yoga Church member shared that it's her intention to cultivate a disciplined mind. I applaud her intention; it's a main goal of yoga practice. But in some ways, it's too abstract. It's too big. While it's good to have big goals, it's important to remember that we need clear, small steps in order to make progress.  This week's sermon gets super practical. It dives deep into the steps required to create a practice that supports your goals. If you've ever struggled to start or stick with a practice, I hope this sermon will support you.  For reflection questions and the full sermon transcript visit: https://www.summercushman.com/quieting-the-restless-mind/
