Gruninger: The Fourth Niyama Is Svadhyaya – Self Study
By JACCI GRUNINGER MS, C-IAYT, ERYT500
Los Alamos
The fourth Niyama is Svadhyaya, the study of the self.
“Yoga is the journey of the Self, through the Self, to the Self.” –The Bhagavad Gita
The work or practice we do on the mat is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to yoga.
On the mat work helps us to see, feel and watch the part that is under the iceberg.
Svadhyaya can be defined as:
- Self study;
- self awareness;
- Self knowledge;
- Self reflection; and
- Self-examination.
When I teach yoga or work with clients in yoga therapy, I will ask questions like what do you notice? How does your left side feel versus Read More

Why are the good bacteria and the food that feeds them so important to our health? For obvious reasons, if the good guys get out of balance then the bad guys Read More

Fr. Glenn: Countering Instinct
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Images of bombings, smoke, freedom fighters are strewn across the news sites once again. Heavy sigh. Over 30 years after the tearing down of “The Wall” in Berlin and the subsequent breakup of the Soviet Union—hardly even a generation—Russia sets it sights westward once again, making incursions into Ukraine, then…? Peace shattered in Europe once again. As General MacArthur remarked in his farewell speech to West Point, it does seem that “Only the dead have seen the end of war.”
Obviously—lamentably—there are always wars, rebellions and conflicts throughout the world. Read More
