The Yoga Church Sunday Sermons

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/

The Inner Battle - Reflections on the Bhagavad Gita

I've been returning to some foundational teachings and I'm really excited to share this week's sermon with you. It looks deeply at the inner battle that happens within us all and explores some important questions: Who do I take myself to be? How do I deal with anxiety and grief? How do I get out of my own way? How can I be a friend to myself? Click here for reflection questions and the full sermon transcript: https://www.summercushman.com/the-inner-battle-reflections-on-the-bhagavad-gita/
