Ashtanga Yoga is a Treasure Hunt - Blogs and Twits on Sharath's Conference

Ashtanga Yoga takes time! David here tells of what he heard in conference yesterday. I wonder. Does this make ashtanguis "pirates"?

Pirate Yoga.  Can almost see the t-shirt!


"Reaping the benefits of Ashtanga yoga,touted as the only yoga that includes all the angas, and therefore represents the one sure way to purify the mind and body and ultimately attain knowledge “is not like making noodles. It takes time...


It is  a treasure hunt.-  He linked the longtime experience to a search for the enduring knowledge and benefits that follow from the practice."


Here is David's full post.

Some insights coming from Twitter-land about what was discussed in the conference also come from Owl:

One student is coming to me, my shoulder is paining. Yes OK; now you know you have a shoulder! [Healing through yoga] is a process. -Sharath


Between the 2 poles of life and death, we act so crazy. We try to own everything! We own nothing. Not even this body do we own. -Sharath, paraphrase

We don't own anything! We are mere renters in this planet, here for the ephemeral few years, perhaps a 100, likely less.  Might be good to use them wisely with "health, and a peaceful mind" as Krishnamacharya advised.
