Svadhyaya or self-study is the deepening awareness of the unchanging self that exists below all the changing layers of the physical, energetic, mental and emotional bodies. Through dedication to our practices we can begin to get to know this self better. I love the quote from R Roy and D Charlton "Tapas is to Sauca as Swadhyaya is to Santosha". Meaning that dedication relates to self-care is the same way as self-study relates to contentment. With these ideas in mind we first 'check-in' with ourselves, then share a breathing practice. movement and finally a guided relaxation.
