While I'm certainly familiar with this verse, it never hurts to have someone remind me about the importance of quieting my mind. In a recent yoga class, the teacher reminded us several times to "invite in stillness." The first few times she said it, I unconsciously responded by taking a deep, relaxing breath. Eventually this sense of deep relaxation gave way to contentment. As I continued to let go and surrender to the present moment, I recognized inwardly that this sense of ease and releasing fear is why I do this practice. I invite you to "invite in stillness." You may feel stillness throughout your practice or only in one moment of your entire practice, but you can still allow that sense of freedom, openness, and joy to permeate your life. Namaste, Andrea Ferretti NOTICEBOARD 9 Salamba Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand) This version of Shoulderstand is performed with blanket support under the shoulders. http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/480_1.cfm?ctsrc=nlv47 NOTICEBOARD 10 Return to Stillness In a world of information overload, the yoga practice of pratyahara offers us a haven of silence. http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/459_1.cfm?ctsrc=nlv47 NOTICEBOARD 11 Meet the Innovators: Erich SchiffmanThis popular teacher believes it is his job to help students "move into stillness" so that they might find their inner teacher. http://www.yogajournal.com/views/360_1.cfm?ctsrc=nlv47 NOTICEBOARD 12 Let's Meditate A beginner's guide to meditation practice. http://www.yogajournal.com/meditation/141_1.cfm?ctsrc=nlv47 NOTICEBOARD 13 Riding Your Breath Home This concentration practice grounds you in the present moment. http://www.yogajournal.com/meditation/140_1.cfm?ctsrc=nlv47 NOTICEBOARD 14 Finding Stillness in Corpse Pose Q: "It is very hard for me to totally relax and be still during Corpse Pose.
