"Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter your flame." ~ B.K.S. Iyengar
"It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity." ~ BKS Iyengar "Light on Yoga"
“The study of asana is not about mastering posture. It’s about using posture to understand and transform yourself.”
~ B.K.S. Iyengar, “Light on Yoga”
I really wanted to stay in bed this morning. After a string of unusually hot and still days, our wonderful tradewinds have returned. It was nice and cool, as I lay under my sheet, lost in a dream. But a lone seagull’s call kept piercing my silence, almost like I’d put my alarm on snooze.
So I got up. This is my yoga practice.
“Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?”
~ Steve Maraboli
Happy Monday friends. It’s the first Monday of a new month, and I wanted to share another message about re-birth which I ran across this weekend. It’s from a yogic perspective. And it’s a perfect reminder that we have a choice. In the blessing of the present moment, when we remain in mindfulness, right here and now, we can make the choice as to the person that we want to be, or not to be, the things we wish to do, or not to do, the dreams we pursue or don’t pursue.
"Breaking through your self-imposed barriers (and they are all self-imposed) is the greatest challenge you will ever face. But face them you must." ~ Mary-Frances Winters
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." ~ Steve Jobs, 1987
