In the Presence of BKS iyengar

... complacency and thirsting for the larger vision of yoga, for the truth of being. I have never been disappointed by Mr. Iyengar, but rather awed by his simple yet profound teachings, his keen observations, and his deep sense of compassion and wisdom. I am still puzzling over his comment that we either breathe and draw oxygen from our brain or breathe and draw oxygen from our lungs.

Mediation, renunciation, and sacrifice help to dissolve the ego like a shell around a seed, so that what is inside, the divine spark, can transform us to do the work of Love in the world. We can do this anywhere, even on our jobs.

How is your job? Is there a way that you can kick the meaningfulness of your job to a higher level? Is there a way that you can embody love on your job through your interactions with customers, fellow workers, subordinates, or supervisors? How about your family? Can you do Karmic Yoga there?

...oga are that the instructors are more likely to be certified and experienced. You have a greater chance of getting to know your instructor and they you. In addition, you have a greater likelihood of finding a yoga 'community'.

There are many types of studios. Let's take my (large) town in NJ as an example. Some studios offer only one kind of Yoga such as Kundalini or Anusara.

Interestingly, some other studios promote multiple styles by employing several instructors, each trained and teaching in whatever various styles in which they are certified.more
