The greatest commandments from God are 1) you shall love God with your whole

heart, soul and mind, having no other Gods before me (and that can be

anything, even a yoga practice) and 2) you shall LOVE your neighbors as

yourself. Now, if we all just followed those rules only, can you imagine

how wonderful this world would be! I don't think we need Ashtanga yoga or

any other yoga to follow those simple (although not always easy) principles.

 

fbl I must say I get a kick out of you, you certainly say what is on your

mind!
