Practice/Practice

[Guest guest]

One of Guruji's favourite expressions is:<br>"do

your practice and all is coming"<br><br>Those who have

practiced for some time understand the truth of this. The

problem for most people is establishing a practice in the

first place. <br><br>It is more beneficial to practice

a little yoga everyday than a lot

infrequently.<br><br>Establishing a daily practice is important - without

regular

practice whatever you gain slips away.<br><br>According to

Ayurveda, man's life expectancy is 100 years - we do the

damage which shortens our lifespan by our various wrong

choices in life.<br><br>A right choice we have made, is

to practice yoga. And the benefit of practice is

crystal clear to anyone who first tries it

out.<br><br>Guruji practiced, as far as I know, from around 1930 -

1973 - 43 years. Most of us havent even been around

that long.The evidence of Guruji's practice is quite

clear - he seems 30 years younger than his physical

age.<br><br>The asana practice needs to be established in a daily

rythm for a number of years to really gain benefit. I

have heard it said that 30 years practice is

sufficient to give you good health for the rest of your

life.

Somewhere I heard a statement by BKS Iyengar, maybe in a lecture or in one of

his books, that Krishnamacharya had them practice asanas sometimes for up to

10hrs a day in the 1930's.
