Yoga as a Returning to the Heart
This week’s theme explores yoga as a returning to the heart, inspired by Nischala Joy Devi’s The Secret Power of Yoga, our new Sangha book. We’ll reflect on Sangha as community and shared spiritual enquiry, and on the idea that yoga invites us to gather our attention back into body, breath, presence and the quieter awareness within.

Rooted Sangha: The Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 2 | Verse 68 to 72 - Becoming Like the Ocean
In the closing verses of Chapter 2, Krishna offers two powerful images: the person who is awake while others sleep, and the ocean that remains steady as rivers flow into it. These teachings invite us to explore desire, inner fullness and the deeper peace that becomes possible when we are no longer carried away by every thought, feeling or longing.

Rooted Sangha: The Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 2 | Verse 64 to 67 - Finding Peace in a Restless World
In verses 64 to 67 of Chapter 2, Krishna shows us a way back from restlessness. By noticing the pull of attraction and aversion, we can begin to meet life without being carried away by every thought, feeling or desire. Like a boat held steady in changing winds, yoga helps us remain connected to our deeper wisdom.

Kindness Without Witness
We may not be able to change everything happening across the globe, but we can shape the atmosphere in our homes, our streets, and our communities. A small act of kindness offered quietly, right where we are, is never insignificant. In its own gentle way, it helps tip the balance of the world toward a little more care.
