Santosha: Yoga "Off the Mat" with Anna Pittman

Our beloved teacher Anna Pittman will be presenting on Santosha as part of her "Off the Mat" series.

Santosha~ Contentment is a choice, a result of a willingness to develop a relationship with a feeling that becomes inreasingly familiar with practice. In this lecture/inquiry Anna will share how to shift from our habit of looking for contentment from an external source such as an experience or person to discovering deep contentment from the experience of Being. We will also look at the relationship between contentment and personal truth.

What they're saying

"I simply wanted to send you a quick note to tell you from the heart how much I am enjoying learning with you. You are such an inspiration to me during my asana practice, as well as my pursuit to live a more connected and balanced life.  I think of you often, and sometimes if I am stuck in a difficult place I ask myself 'What would Anna do?'  Thank you for all that you are and share!"

"I never actually envisioned teaching when I enrolled in your course, but now it is inextricably tied to my practice and provides a very real spiritual dimension.   I am so grateful for your presence and timeliness in my life, Anna.  It is beautiful to see someone rise  to follow such a path of light, and it is clear you were born to illuminate the path for others.  Thank you, and blessings..."
