THE SIX PARAMITAS THRU BREATH AND ASANA

Paramita means perfection in Sanskrit. In Tibetan it means "to cross over to the other shore". The Paramitas then are the qualities that lead one from a sea of sufferings to the realm of enlightenment.In Buddhism there are six perfections to practice: generosity,kindness,patience,joyful effort,stillness and wisdom. We will use meditation to cultivate the awareness of the giving heart.  Using breath and asana we will aim our practice for the highest:  extending these perfections from our heart to others.
