Thank you! Yoga really is the university for "Self Study" with modules such as Meditation,Asana, Pranayama allowing emotional maturing and a mental capacity to understand so that the true purpose of being can be revealed to us, individually and organically..we can hear truth many times over, but unless we are ready to receive it, we will never absorb it meaning..like seeds being sprinkled on baron land vs fertile soil...With yoga we prepare to receive what is..Namaste'
Most people have the concept of "Yoga" all wrong.... Yoga simply means "Not Two" ... so in this light and understanding.... Everything Is Yoga... Asana meditation and all actions and stillness merge...It is the whole of Life practiced with as much awareness as possible.... and the realization of non-duality and One Taste :)
I totally agree with this. I see people pushing themselves with hot yoga or doing fast "up and down" poses and they come out look skinny and muscular but exhausted and wane. I do soft hatha, relaxed, concentrate on the mind and I feel great afterwards!
yoga means to join together, to yoke, but it should mean to seperate, to learn to detach. to me yoga asanas first helped me to detach my mind from the material world, the world of possessions, and then helped me to detach from my body. The detachment occurs by creating health, by understanding the pain we train ourselves to endure. Only when we detach from the material and the physical can we start to understand the spiritual. Yoga asanas are our vehicle for doing so.
