Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 Thanks chris, appreciate the input. I've never claimed to be a yogi or practicing the 'right' way. >From what I've read my personal goals from my Ashtanga practice differ from what is traditional, and that's fine-it's my practice. The benefits of prana, or life force, that I can feel, coming from the asanas, is enough to keep me going. I'd like to be straighter, stronger and more flexible of course,and that's what I work towards. Undoubtably there is calmness and beauty about the practice too. Namaste, Lawrence. --- chris schmaltz <yogaboi wrote: > and my principal > source of self-esteem and feelings of > accomplishment. > > > If this is true than maybe you need to reminded that > the "goal" of this spiritual practice is connecting > with our atman or divine self. in short it is to > form > yoga with or "yoke" with god.
