Do you practise pranyama as part of your yoga practise? Did you know that many traditional practises do not believe that practitioners should be learning specific breathing exercises unless or until they have mastered physical postures? It makes sense; we need to know and understand how our body works and reacts, so from the outside in with observation seems intelligent. What do you think? Check my little bloggy thing on my website or Facey page and tell me what you think x #pranyama #yogabreath #yogatherapy #howyogaworks (at Yogasphere: Integrated Health & Movement-Based Solutions) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4MbhlPA0WX/?igshid=1358gbpfpe0j2

#ScavengerAsanas Day 6 Growing up I hated reading. I don’t think I ever finished an assigned book until college. I struggled with ADD and could never get through a page without getting distracted and I would read chapters without retaining any information which made me so frustrated I would just give up. . . . Now I read a lot. The change is reading things that interest me. I still get distracted and have to reread things a lot but I want to know what’s written. The last book I read that I loved was ‘How Yoga Works’ by Geshe Michael Roach. Other favorites are ‘Wild’ by Cheryl Strayed, ‘On Trails’ by Robert Moor and anything by Gillian Flynn (who’s books are better known as their on screen renditions now, but the books are way better) 💛Poses & Scavenger List: . 1: A warrior variation with something green in the photo. 🌱 2: A lunge variation in public.🗽 3: A Heart opener with something blue in the photo.💙 4.

🔆You see, it’s not that you made a mistake. Every student makes mistake with their teacher; it’s part of being a student. If the student never made any mistakes, then they wouldn’t really need a teacher in the first place. And so mistakes like what you did, they are normal, and a real teacher doesn’t let them get in the way. The problem is something the Master says himself: “And another way is to ask the Master for their blessing”. Another way for reaching the highest goals of yoga: just before this verse, Master Patanjali has listed some powerful methods for reaching pure happiness, and perfect physical health. And then out of the blue he says “But you could do the same thing, just by asking the Master for their blessing”. (….) You think you are the Master because it is you who has decided to have classes. And then, the teacher is just someone that gives you the classes: you employ that person in that capacity, and so in a sense I am your employee and not your teacher. And that’s the problem, you see. Yoga cannot be taught that way. Even if this place would be a fancy school or if I owned it and you came here for classes, even if you were paying me in some way, still the yoga would never come to you –I could never grant you the yoga, even if I wanted to and tried to–unless you regarded me as a teacher should be regarded. And that is with deep respect. (…) I want you to know, I don’t mean Master in a religious sense. I don’t mean you should bow me or give me things or anything like that. What I do mean is that you should respect me, not for me, but for yourself. And when a student has this kind of regard or respect for the teacher –and I mean no matter what the teacher is teaching them– then something happens: a #magic, a kind of magic is let loose. A “blessing” the Master calls it. All the power of the healing, all the power of generation upon generation of people who struggled to learn and then learned and then granted that great gift onto the next generation, so it would live –so they could live– all that power is released to You. And then, the healing will happen. The yoga will work🔆 To Saraswathi #howyogaworks #amayoga #mysore #india (at Shri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute (KPJAYI))

I don’t know what age it is when you figure it out - I suppose with some people it must be later than sooner - but I had come to realize that whether I was happy or not had just about nothing to do with the place I was (staying) in

How Yoga Works

[classybunnies]

‘Know this: Enlightenment and freedom Are not arbitrarily handed down. They are the result of intentional effort.’ - Lao Tzu . After reading How Yoga Works by Geshe Michael Roach this quote spoke to me. I always thought that looking inward and doing yoga for myself was the answer but I recently realized that it takes a teacher and others that need your help in order to find what you’re looking for within yourself. You will not find the answers easily. It takes time and effort. Effort working on yourself, effort helping other people by taking what they no longer serves them and giving them what they need to improve on their own. Effort to learn something from anyone, or from everything. . . We all set intentions but keeping those intentions is the hard part. Have you stuck with yours? Have you made new ones over the ones you could not complete? What does effort look like to you? To me it is just recognizing that I am doing something every day to help myself, to help those around me, to learn and to improve how I view the world. . . . #howyogaworks #geshemichaelroach #laotzu #quotes #yoga #halffrogpose #ardhabhekasana #yogawithpets #doingthings #outdoorvoices #homepractice #yogacommunity #whiskersandyoga #effort (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvO8ILslub_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z1rocvfu01g1
