Whatever is happening but we are yogis
The heart of practice integrates life's experiences with yoga's discipline. Yesterday's walk in the forest was also good practice. Asana and pranayama have been done for many years, from youth to old age. Current techniques serve both young and old in daily life. Health issues often stem from hereditary lines, not from these exercises. Those who practice yoga are much healthier despite problems. Life involves various relationships and home situations where one may practice alone. The practice is about living well amidst all circumstances. Gurus and disciples understand that everything comes and goes, including this life. Practice connects one to the energies present, like the cyclical renewal seen in nature. The story of the couple illustrates how unspoken assumptions create lifelong unhappiness, resolved only by finally speaking the truth. A yogi's heart remains in satsang, beyond anger or trouble. Feel the heart's constant path within.
"Those who were doing yoga practices, they were much better than they could be."
"Because I want to give soft, very good, and hard, hard, I'm eating."
