... hey yoga babe.. you seem to be in agreement with me on Savasana.. i agree

with Guruji, for me it is the most advanced asana i practice.. it is not

enough to just take rest.

 

As far as i see it, we are all practicing yoga weather we are aware of it or

not.. weather we practice asana or not.. we are all in the processes of self

realization/rememberance. As i said in my previous post yoga is just a tool

to straighten out our hearts and minds.. and i mean this not just for

ourselves but for the greater good we are a part of.. Asana is after all

only one form of yoga. There are many ways to practice.

Hello, I too have been dealing with an injury (low back) lately. The beauty

of yoga is that our practice is our own and so we move to our places of tension

or resistance, then gently encourage expansion. we are fortunate to have

discovered this ancient wisdom that not only teaches us about the care of the

body with Asana, but has also given us the tools we can use to approach right

livelihood, breath, contemplation, etc...If the body is not currently capable of

full Asana practice, it is an opportunity for exploration of the other 7 limbs

of Ashtanga. Be kind with yourself. Namaste

.... yes and also perhaps the comments i gave to Will are of some relevence

for you Vik... a full astanga practice is not suitable for everyone. Surya

Namaskara, some standing sequence and the finishing asana maybe. Most

important is to listen to your body as Suzanne points out.
