Sukha Yoga Austin

What have you been doing to slow down and connect to your body recently?

Slow mindful practices are great for the ♥️ and 🧠. It’s invaluable to seek out ways to feel connected to your body, tuned into your mind and emotions and for sure build some “okayness” if things aren’t looking or feeling like you imagined them to. If you’re shaking inside or floating away - we can relate - and it’s why we teach and practice classes like this at Sukha!

Hi Sukha Sangha! My name is Carter Miles. I am a new yoga teacher here at Sukha and I’m here to help people feel good again :) My yoga journey was kindled by that desire, to feel good. Join me Sundays at 9AM for an in studio Super Flow ✨

I came to yoga somewhat accidentally. I took a hot power yoga class with an incredible teacher and I felt so great afterwards that I kept coming back. Day after day.

My yoga practice was the first thing I ever committed to. It was challenging to do, but an easy choice. It was beautiful, fun and deeply nourishing to me. I trusted it.

I did teacher training just to better understand what I was doing, I didn’t intend to became a teacher, but it came naturally to me. Teaching become my second commitment and it’s taught me as much if not more about myself than my own solo practice. For 7 years this has been the focus of my life.

I was driving across the country and visiting Austin about a year ago. I asked my yoga Momma for a recommendation, she sent me to Erinn at Sukha. The first thing Erinn said to our class was ‘Soften’ and the tears started flowing.

When I moved here to Austin (6 months ago) I started coming back and the same thing kept happening. I’ve cried many times at Sukha. The energy and love that has been infused into this studio keeps opening my heart. Thats why I kept coming back. Now I get to teach her and I feel so blessed to be brought into the family.

I teach how I like to practice… it’s fun, it’s dynamic, it’s powerful, but slow. I like to hold bigger, traditional shapes for long periods, giving us time to really break them down, build them up and understand them.

I like bringing my yogis up to their limit and down do their depths… that’s where we find the courage, strength and steadiness we need to bring back out into the world.

I hope to meet all of you soon ❤️

The 8 limbs of yoga — repost from one of our lovely teachers @paradiseyogatx ✨

If you’ve practiced with me or have followed me on Instagram for a while, you’ve probably heard me say “yoga is about much more than just asana” many times. What is asana? In simplest terms, it’s the physical practice of yoga or the poses of yoga. There is so much more to yoga than the physical practice — there are actually 8 “limbs” or branches of yoga. The purpose of yoga is not to perfect each pose, it’s to develop a deeper connection and awareness of ourselves. To cultivate a sense of presence. To help us live a life free of suffering. The 8 limbs are the steps we take to achieve that ultimate goal. So what are these other branches of yoga?

1️⃣  Yamas: codes of conduct or moral disciplines toward the outside world. The five yamas are: ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truthfulness), asteya (non-stealing), bramacharya (non-excess), and aparigraha (non-possessiveness)

2️⃣  Niyamas: also codes of conduct for living, but these disciplines focus on how you treat yourself. The five niyamas are: saucha (purity), santosha (contentment), tapas (self-discipline), svadhyaya (self-study), isvara pranidhana (surrender)

3️⃣  Asana: yoga postures, preparing the body to sit still for meditation

4️⃣  Pranayama: yoga breathing techniques designed to control prana (the vital life force)

5️⃣  Pratyahara: withdrawal of the senses

6️⃣  Dharana: concentration

7️⃣  Dhyana: the practice of meditation

8️⃣  Samadhi: merging with the divine
