Hi,

 

In answer to your statement/question. I was raised by

a Catholic and Baptist family, which translated into

going to church every day of the week. By the time I

was 18 and out of the house I was so over religion.

Finding Astanga has improved my spiritual and mental

health. I pray best, longest and deepest when I am in

my moving meditation - Astanga.

For me without the inner practice I couldn't have wouldn't have stayed

consistent through injuries (healed by more practice and practicing with more

listening). Without the inner I wouldn't have started in the first place it's

too confronting.

Since ashtanga yoga/power yoga has the reputation for being a

physically demanding practice, I wanted to get your thoughts on this

issue. Is the physical aspect what you most value? What do you

perceive to be the mental and spiritual benefits of this practice?
