Maitriyoga

From Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search





Maitri is a Sanskrit word that refers to a way of relating, with an open mind and heart, with kindness. I think it is a prerequisite to the experience of yoga—a sense of wholeness in our lives and a genuine connection with others. Our yoga class is a time of self exploration. We welcome and soften into our experience as we move through the asanas with attention and precision. Free of judgments, we consider how we can find more freedom in our mind-body, and how our thoughts and actions hinder or contribute to our well being.
