Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,
This week in class we are considering the topic “Embodying The Spirit.”
Under Your Own Steam
The purpose of deliberate restraint and controlled relaxation is to confine tensions to their places where they can work constructively and not allow the energy of the body to dribble wastefully away in unnecessary motion. You should keep your steam in to run your own engine and not permit it to escape and befog your mind or cloud the lives of others.
- Marcia Moore and Mark Douglas
The homework is to ask yourself, what is the benefit of practicing Yoga asana? Can we define asana as deliberate restraint and controlled relaxation? How does the practice of Yoga asana encourage the sadhaka (practitioner) to not waste movement and to conserve energy?
Blessings,
paul cheek
