About Yoga Lila
“All of creation is divinely danced into existence for the
simple delight and the play of embodying the Supreme's own blissful
nature.” – John Friend
Through the process of embodiment, we forget our essential
nature. This forgetting not only leads to great suffering within
our own experience, but it, by its’ own nature, perpetuates a paradigm
of pain. Yoga is the Universal process of remembrance. It is
through remembering our true nature that we are given permission to
dance play As we mature, we often lose permission to freely celebrate
our true nature, that we dance through the play ground of life. This
dance is not one of denial, for there is pain, but this is a dance of
unconditional grace that celebrates our greatest moments and cares us
through the most challenging.
The Sanskrit word lila can mean many things, but it is generally
translated as play. For us, the yoga room is a spiritual playground,
which gives freedom to return to wholeness and a more fulfilled
experience. We courageously ignite our childlike nature transcending
our own resistance and embrace the playful spirit within.
In
order to create this universe, Lord Shiva conceals his nature and plays
in an infinite variety of ways. On the stage of this universe, he loses
himself in the drama of life. Then, by his own sweet will, he reveals
his true nature and elevates himself again to the state of Shiva – the
state that he already is.
– Tantraloka, 13th Chapter.
