For yoga teachers and practitioners alike, the themes and philosophies embedded within yoga offer profound insights into our daily lives. One such universal theme is the concept of "letting go." Whether it's releasing negative energies, past traumas, or daily stresses, the act of letting go can be transformational. In the vast repertoire of yoga mudras, the Kshepana Mudra stands out as a symbol of release. Let's explore how both teachers and students can integrate this gesture into their practice for a deeper sense of liberation.
"Letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about someone anymore. It’s just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself." - Deborah Reber
"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward." - Steve Maraboli
"Let go, or be dragged." -Zen Proverb"
"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." -Alexander Graham Bell
"Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." -Buddha
"You can't reach for anything new if your hands are still full of yesterday's junk."-Louise Smith
"The process of letting go is like taking a journey to the center of your being." -Darren L. Johnson
