Sutra 1.1 - atha yoganusasanam, Now follows a detailed exposition of the discipline of yoga, given step by step in the right order, and with proper direction for self-alignment.
-Light on the Yoga Sutras, BKS Iyengar-
I have been back from India for over 2 weeks now. I have been asked everything from, have you been transformed? Do you feel different? Are you seeing a difference in your teaching? My answer is simple, yes I feel different.
When I was in India I was reading the first chapter of the Yoga Sutras again. Something happened. I actually understood on a very basic level what it meant. For years now, I read the sutras over and over, but nothing really sticks. It is not so easy to weave the philosophy into my teaching or my day to day life. India was a way to slow down, connect with my mind and body again and sit with the teachings of the Iyengars. There was no pressure to be tested, no pressure to perform, just to learn and absorb.
Now, yoga is happening in my life. All facets of it. My mind is fresh, I am eager to learn more.
