Again!

I'm amazed at how little people know about yoga, even people that teach yoga seem to be woefully lacking in knowledge.

I suppose you could say this about any form or discipline if you so choose. I'm saying it because to me it just does not make sense to do something that I don't fully understand. Why would I want to invest time and energy in something that I don't understand? I have to admit though that I have in the past wasted a lot of time 'not understanding' so maybe it's just that I'm older now and don't have the time to spare.

It's true that if you go to a class you will feel better for it, usually though not always. But Yoga isn't magic, to me it is more like a precise science. It has technique and it has a deep philosophy and from that perspective there is much to know.

At the same time we know that if we sit still we immediately enter another state of consciousness. The old saying from the bible is profound. 'Be still and know that I am God'.

Sitting still and breathing deeply in and out through the nose for 10 -15 - 30 - or 60 minutes or more will teach you more about who you are than any books have to offer.

Why don't you do it?

I really do strongly advise you that you 'should' think about it. . . . . Why don't you do it? Why don't you do it everyday?

This is only my opinion - BUT : If you don't do it everyday you have not understood a thing about yoga!

Omzzzzz
