Hello everyone,

 

I am new at posting, though I have being reading for a while.

 

I live in Sydney Australia, and started Ashtanga Yoga 2 years ago for purely

aesthetic reasons. I only practice 2hours a week through led sessions, and at

home, very lazyly, I do some stretches and breathing to soothe my inner

'dramas'.

 

I would like to get more aware of what I am doing, the aesthetical reason has

been shifting towards an spiritual as well, long story.

 

About the post on how long to stay in a posture,,, my very modest and 'ordinary'

experience is that I find different postures more 'gratifying' and tend to stay

in those for a couple of more breaths. Then, of course, I have to hurry to catch

up with the rest of the class.

 

I hope you don't mind my ignorance if I ask question about some 'words' you use.

If it is too much, please, disregard them. I am trying to catch up with so many

things, that sometimes I lose focus.

 

Well, here's my first unknown words: 'satguru'. Can anyone tell me what it

means?

 

Thank you and sorry for the hash introduction. I will try to get more coherent

as I feel more confident here.

 

I would like to create a 'goodbye' phrase in tune with the practice, but, at

this stage, coming from me, it would be fake.

 

Take care all

BB

a satguru is the teacher who is within.........

 

a great closing saying at the end is namaste which means the light with in my

bows down to the light with you you......this is usually said at the end of yoga

class.

 

here aare some matras that are chanted at the end of ashtanga pracitce

 

 

 

 

May both of us together be protected.

May both of us together be nourished.

May we work together with great energy.

May our study together be brilliant and effective.

May we not hate or dispute with each other.

, Peace, Peace, Peace.

May all be well with humanity. May the leaders of the earth protect this world

with a righteous path. May there be goodness for those who know the earth to be

sacred. Let all worlds be happy.

 

May the rain fall on time, and may the earth yield its produce in abundance. May

this country be free from disturbances, and let the righteous be free from fear.

hope this helps ps there are some great yoga studios in austrilia ever get to
