Asana practice is different from all other physical activities. Asana means seat. This implies every posture brings its full range of significance in alignment, awareness, compassionate awareness, where the breath will flow, where there is contraction and where to lengthen. Asana practice brings health and lightness, a completely united body, where every part of the body is trained with equal awareness and importance. Dualities is lessened and dissolved, victory and defeat of life’s battles is settled in asana. A peace and ability to want your body, to care for it, to understand and celebrate the physical manifests with shame for physical form no longer.

All of this, happens when asana is practiced with authenticity. When in paschimottanasa, be there, fully united in being of mind, scanning and experiencing, with body, lenthtening and continuously contracting, adhering to the seat of paschmottansana. Awareness of breath and where it is directed bringing light is condensed parts. This applies to every single asana in practise. Arrive on your yoga mat with full authenticity.

Take this with you, stepping of the yoga mat into life. For growth can only happen when we are authentic. To want what is for another, to impose differently in different situations, this alienates Self from Self and personal potential will evade.

Divine experience follows authentic asana practise.

Your growth comes from Authentic You.
