Yogis often start practice with an intention, either a mantra or a dedication that connects the physical practice to a higher purpose. For centuries, yogis have sought deeper meaning in life not only through physical practice and the melding of action and thought, but through a practice of Sankalpah—a deep vow, or resolution to connect one’s life with elevated purpose. Attaining resolve around purpose can itself pose a challenge to the confused among us; yoga offers a path towards reckoning with what it is that we really need, what it is that we are truly capable of.
In a conference arranged by our friends at NY Yoga + Life Magazine this weekend at the Rubin Museum of Art, yogis and meditators will come together to explore pathways of understanding one’s own purpose. We were lucky enough to speak with five of their master teachers on what sankalpah and the practice of teaching means to them.

Sankalpah is a seed, or an intention that we plant to manifest that which resonates with our own highest purpose. To me, teaching is the sharing of tools, techniques, and wisdom to empower others to elevate their own consciousness.
