In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras he gives us a list of guidelines for how we should treat ourselves, in order to explore our own self worth and to enable us to take care of the self. These guidelines are called the niyamas and can be found in Yoga Sutra II:32. Santosha is listed as one of Patanjali’s five ...

Yoga’s benefits are becoming more and more known in the western world. A lot of people think of yoga as acrobatic poses. There’s that pose that you’re not sure if you’re going to come out okay from. Or there’s the one that just doesn’t look humanly possible. How about the one that involves doing a p ...

October was a more introspective month with a lot of yoga-related reading, though the best yoga book I’ve ever read I just finished, so you’ll have to wait until November to see it here on Perusals. Unless of course you are on Goodreads – then you can see it now. ::wink:: A few reminders: *’s mark b ...

練習重點： 1. 呼吸，規律的，平均的。 2. 放鬆，隨性的，自在的。 3. 如果有fu，記得要讀讀瑜伽經還有薄伽梵歌。 4. 還是在尋找為何左腳不能盤腿的答案。 5. 髖關節放鬆，如下犬式、前彎等身體才能折下來。 6. 瑜伽除了練身，還要練心，以及要覺知。 7. 練ashtanga的人真的都超ㄍㄧㄣ，但也只有ㄍㄧㄣ的人才有辦法練ashtanga。 8. 99%的練習，1%的理論。 9. 進入第二級後，更想要好好練習第一級；所有動作都是為下一個動作而做準備。 10. 維持在家練習的習慣。(←這是自我喊話 XD)

We’ve already talked about Patanjali’s yamas, or rules of conduct, in a previous posting, but I want to expand on the concept of aparigraha (the fifth yama). Aparigraha is defined as non-possessiveness, non-grasping, non-attachment and is sometimes referred to as having an “open hand”. Aparigraha ca ...

Prana means breath, respiration, life, vitality, wind or energy. Ayama means length, expansion, stretching or restraint. So, combining these together connotes the control or extension of breath or life. The yogini or yogi must master both asana and pranayama, as both are as important as each other. ...
