Thanks for the comments everyone :). Loeri, I'm 26. Arun, that's richard freeman. (For those interested in the reply to Tony, click view all comments).

Truly impressive. I imagine all the positions could become a distraction to the spiritual pursuit... like a game with contortion, balance and strength.

This is a real question I have about yoga. I'm not being critical of the practice. I practice vipassana which is a mindfulness yogic practice centered on the breath and awareness of bodily sensation. I think it is precisely because it is so boring that it is so difficult and rewarding.

Hi Tony. I agree that what's valuable about vipassana is the challenge of it. Asana practice is certainly different, and certainly valuable for different reasons. I don't know that I'd call it a game, however.

I have different ideas about spirituality than most yogis, but I find my asana practice one thing that helps me to develop spiritually. Certainly it isn't the only thing. Not enough space to go in to this here, though.

Yoga should be practised with Pranayama ( breathing practise). It will bring perfect body and mind.....
