Walk the path

‘Saying it and doing it is just a different thing. There’s just as much difference in it as night and day.’ -James Brown

Yoga is:

1. ACTION: fire and intensity in daily asana practice (physical dimension)
2. STUDY: thorough and unflinching investigation of oneself, one’s relationships, one’s practice and yoga texts/history/theory (intellectual dimension)
3. REVERENCE and SURRENDER: unshakeable faith in a benevolent larger pattern, purpose or power (emotional/spiritual dimension)

There exists a rich canon of literature to support daily asana practice, and these particular teachings come from Patanjali’s yoga sutras. (The American Sanskrit Institute publishes a Yoga Sutra Workbook with both the original Sanskrit and word-by-word translation.)

For the devoted practitioner–and the casual practitioner who aspires to devotion–these texts are treasures. To maintain a serious practice over the course of a lifetime is no small task. It is up to each of us to scavenge continuously for sources of inspiration, sustenance and curiosity.
