Sweet Vinyasa: Rest Your Weary Bones: Monday, August 25, 2014

The practice of yoga..abhyasa..is a continuous effort for a long time. New pathways and doors open up all the time. One of the jobs of the yogi is to be willing to recognize there is more than meets the usual eyes. As St. Paul is rumored to have said "eyes of the flesh see things of the flesh, eyes of the spirit". This continuous effort is never ending..as it is put in the Rig Veda neti neti!

We used the bones, primarily the femur, to tether our attention into parts not usually seen.
