I love the way she weaves this analogy (see what I did there?) Usually, they break down after three of four, but she kills it, even doubling down at the end.

” You know when you go to buy cloth. If one thread is damaged, you will see a space, a hole. Do you want to buy this one?

You have to see that the threading is done correctly. This is how we practice our asana. This takes a longer time. Especially because we use only that part where the threading is easier, where the threading has gone correctly. Where it is hard, or hasn’t gone correctly, we don’t touch that portion.

So normally we ask, ” Am I able to do this? Yes, I did it. THAT IS NOT TAPAS. Tapas is the austere practice where you are able to face all those difficulties – threads, knots, and loose ends – and clear them; burn the impurities, so the purity surfaces.”

” You have to work with the threads. The T-shirt is made of threads, vertical and horizontal. You have to open the vertical threads, the horizontal threads. These threads create your intelligence. You thread the whole body. You are tailoring the whole body. You thread the needle with your thread. The tip of the needle is itself, like consciousness. The thread is intelligence. The intelligence following consciousness.” (Geeta Iyengar: 2009 Teachers convention)

Purna Yoga Key West will be back live at Universal Unitarian Church (801 Georgia) Mondays (Level I/Gentle), Wednesdays (Level I/Gentle), and Fridays (Restorative) from Noon-1:30. There will also be a Zoom broadcast of these classes. It's a hybrid.

Them: My Dyna Flow is discombobulated
Me: No problem, try xyz
Them: I already take/do pdq
Me (wondering why there's a problem if pdq is working - which it obviously is not): OooK.

For those of you who would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to use the Turmeric Drink, but it simply seems like too big a bother, Life Extension is practically giving this stuff away. I just sent three bottles to my Mom.

Curcumin is hard to absorb. Super Bio Curcumin Turmeric Extract is up to seven times more absorbable than standard curcumin as it contains a proprietary BCM-95 extract. The supplement supports immune system, heart health and fight oxidative stress.

I post this fairly often. This is where I buy my bulk Turmeric and Bacopa caps. (The Bacopa might be getting edged out by SR's Top Focus, though.)

Buy Ayurvedic Supplements, Raw Supplements, Oils, Creams from Tattva's Herbs
