learning

i haven't been very busy at work recently, so i've been voraciously reading about yoga. iyengar, ashtanga, mysore,desikachar, paris, you name it. it's fascinating.

something i read today: "...for him the practice was about being at the wall. If you take away the wall, or spend your time trying to figure out how to remove the wall, you have completely missed the point. Maybe, maybe hopefully, this is about your mind, and soul, and something a little deeper than how to get your fingers to touch.....And things are meant to happen here, not over days, but over months. That’s what makes them lived and experienced, not told or spoken."

there's something possessive about ashtanga. it's bizarre.
