Why practice asana ?

BKS Iyengar says - the inner self is freed from it’s prison when we practice asana. it is an expression of ourselves and brings our energy out. Pranayama channels our energy and the true self returns to its abode within the heart.
We talk about energy. There is energy in every living thing. As yogis we work with prana - this energy.

Fire in our practice important- every one of the ancient texts say that this fire is the stamina of practice. It is this discipline of practice that cultivates energy. It is this channeled energy that enables us to keep up the practice. If Guruji did not have this fire, none of us would be here.”

On this morning of the solstice; the next phase of the dance between the earth and the sun, between shadow and light, a reminder for from Robert Thurman who passed away last week🙏 . From his commentary on how to live life on Pg 33 the Tibetan book of the Dead.

Rest in peace Bob Thurman. In gratitude for your wisdom

“ so the encouragement provided by the “ it’s all in your mind” approach can be useful. But we should remember that it cannot be applied selectively to those aspects of reality we do not like. All of reality is in the mind, and the mind has us experience it as “ out there”. So we should still take care to see to it that “ out there” is beautiful and not horrible, to prevent the horrible and develop the beautiful “.

Invitations from Abhijata at the 2026 convention…

“why do we want everything to explicitly mentioned? There is a lot that you know implicitly”.

“ if we rationalize fear then we cannot deal with it…. We don’t accept that we are afraid of things . We give it sophisticated language - rationalization and this caters to our ego. Nobody wants to admit they are afraid because we think it is demeaning. Stop telling yourself you are not afraid… (then you will be able to deal with it).

Deep gratitude for her teaching, the incredible crew who organized this amazing event - Tori, Holly, Jamie, Kathleen, Skyler, Lisa and many more, and a joy to all be together, in practice, prayer, connection, community, and friendship.

🙏 for you

A second tribute to David Attenborough, who turned 100 yesterday.

In 1963, David Attenborough worked with violinist Yehudi Menuhin on the BBC documentary Yehudi Menuhin and his Guru. The film featured Menuhin’s teacher, B.K.S. Iyengar, and offered a rare glimpse of yoga on British television at that time.

The image above is a still from the BBC programme, later featured on the cover of 2023 Dipika magazine for Simon Crisp’s article, Rediscovering B.K.S. Iyengar on the BBC after Sixty Years.
