Episode 28: Authentic Love, Level 1 75 min yoga class at the Center for Yoga

by Elsie on February 19, 2007



Authentic love is not a vague sentiment or a blind passion. It is an inner attitude that involves the whole human being. It is looking at others not to use them but to serve them. It is the ability to rejoice with those who are rejoicing and to suffer with those that are suffering. It is sharing what one possesses so that no one may continue to be deprived of what he needs. Love, in a word, is the gift of self.

-Pope John Paul II

I appreciated the core strength focus of this class. Chipped in to Corazon de Vida to express my thanks for it, and for all your heartfelt dedication to the podcast. The new pics help too.

Hi Elsie
I’m trying to get into yoga again and your classes are just wonderful! I’m working through the level 1 classes, slowly building my strength. But this class (and quite a few of the other beginner classes) do not seem to have a working link. Ist there a possibility this will be fixed so I can enjoy a few of your earlier classes? I’m really excited to learn more!
