Spanda
is a Sanskrit term for the subtle creative pulse of the universe
as it manifests into the dynamism of living form. Spanda
can be translated to mean vibration, movement, or motion,
referring to waves of activity issuing forth from an unseen
Source of spontaneous expression. On a more personal level,
spanda refers to consciousness as it orients through
thought and intention to organize into authentic action. You
may experience spanda as a desire to live according
to your own innermost urging, act in line with your interest,
follow your curiosity, and attend to your body's natural rhythms
as they harmonize within the grander scale of natural life
seasons and cycles. |

Living
in a way that keeps us connected to our core beliefs and desires
brings health, stamina, and joy. When we lose our creative
"spark" or spanda, disconnecting from our
own personal expression of vitality, we lose energy, focus,
and a sense of well-being and may eventually fall ill. Connecting
with what drives us, feeling that presence in our bodies,
is also when we are most aligned with the natural spontaneity
that defines life processes. |

Yoga
practice encourages this conscious connection. Through yoga
we learn to listen attentively to our own inner guidance as
well as work creatively with the archetypal forms and timeless
instructions passed down through the millennia. |
