Keep in mind that when you practice yoga, you’re not practicing to improve yourself.
YOU ARE PERFECT.
The practice is there to help you know that.
– Maty Ezraty
Had felt far far FAR ~ from perfect yesterday but… will go for another day of practice…in hopes to re-discover that feeling of near-perfection.
Overcoming fears…is not as difficult when you are in the company of like-minded serious students with a teacher one can fully embrace.
Student: Are you saying not square the hips when this and that and do not tuck the pelvis in when this and that …and … ???????
Maty: “You are trying to find rules. There are no rules. You need to observe each unique student and figure out what’s going on.”
There are no rules and short cut formulas…(not to be taken out of context but)
Isn’t that the truth: THERE ARE NO RULES.
No longer teaching Yin/Yang Yoga… maybe someday I will regenerate myself but taking time off … group classes are nice because of the tribal energy! and the mood ~ but I don’t like how you have to specialize in a certain style – why does it have to be this style or that style… rather have it more about entropy. A mix and a blend – would be more enticing for me but maybe I’m back to being a beginner and thinking like a student. I guess I have a beginner’s mind – not expert’s. Shunryu Suzuki would get it ?
