I'll often call the wisdom in the Yoga Sutras "tools for sanity."
Because this time-tested wisdom text offers tools for calming the mind, Self-Realization and abiding in what Yoga calls your True Nature or Pure Consciousness (many names for this- true self/unconditional love/divine/mystery/insert-your-own-word).
My next monthly Dharma Workshop is Thursday, November 6th*, and references the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, an ancient wisdom text that views Yoga as the Science of the Mind - which translates to living with more ease, joy, peace, equanimity and balance.
The "yoga philosophy" tools I'll share help with everything we do.
They relate to calming the mind and clearing away the "avidya" (Sanskrit for the veil that clouds our ability to see our true nature) - this affects all of our relationships, work, creativity, passions, and actions to create conscious change.
If you want to dig a deeper well and learn more about Yoga, beyond just the physical practice (it's so much more than poses!), then register today to hold your spot in the workshop.
peace & love,
Deanna
Optional: read the first 2 chapters/padas of Inside the Yoga Sutras, translation by Rev. Jaganath Carrera

This is part of our Dharma with Deanna Monthly Workshop that meets the first Thursday of each month 6pm EST
Yoga and it's Sister Sciences include so much more than just poses - this vast world beyond supports our holistic well-being ... physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I love creating space for dialogue around how these ancient teachings and ancient technology apply to our real-time everyday life.
Often I get to share these teachings in teacher trainings, but I feel it's accessible to everyone and want to open the doors for anyone who wants to participate.
These teachings support a deeper understanding of ourselves, others and our world. They give us tools for the mind and help us in measuring experiences against our own "truth meter" so we can live with more joy, ease, wisdom, and compassion and trust the guidance that comes from within.
Dharma has many meanings, including "teachings of truth" or "universal laws" that support personal purpose, spiritual growth and universal balance.
I've studied many spiritual traditions over the years, and one of things I've found is that they all have similarities that point in the same direction. When we practice with heart and sincerity, it deepens our connection to Source (however we connect with it) and empowers us to bring awareness to the way we're living. For me, it strengthens discernment, kindness, strength, resilience, courage, gentleness and the ability to abide in unconditional love.
We'll explore these "truth and wisdom teachings" in the topics above to support your unique path of Yoga and Self-realization. I look forward to opening up the conversation with you and hope you'll join me. May you be happy, healthy, safe and live with joy and ease!

Restorative Yoga Workshop with Deanna Sidoti
Sunday, October 12th 1-3pm
In-Person & Online attendance options available.
Soak in the practices of Restorative Yoga to keep yourself nourished, relaxed, and grounded.
Restorative Yoga is a gentle practice that welcomes both beginners and advanced students to slip into a state of deep relaxation. Calm the mind and cultivate trust, compassion, and self-care as you deepen your inherent healing and replenishing powers.
There are countless studies referring to the rising numbers of people who suffer from issues related to stress and for this "stress response" to be overactive, affecting overall health. Restorative Yoga plays an important role in balancing the central nervous system, reducing stress, alleviating pain, deepening awareness, resting deeply, boosting the immune system, cultivating mental focus and overall health, and calming the mind and body, among many other benefits.
About Deanna:
Deanna has been teaching Restorative Yoga since 2008 and mentoring teachers since 2010. She is the founder of Dhyana Yoga Arts in Chester, NJ, specializes in Yoga for Backcare & Scoliosis, Alignment Vinyasa and Restorative Yoga and teaches workshops and trainings throughout the east coast.
