Without you, our students, we wouldn't be doing what we love doing. We recently asked some of our dedicated practitioners why they started the practice of Mysore style Ashtanga yoga, what keeps them going, and how the practice benefits them.
Although their responses differ, they all point in the same direction: a regular practice enriches their lives in many ways. The common theme goes straight to the heart of Ashtanga: the asana practice straightens and strengthens us up, and in its essence it's a tool that enables us to go within, calm the mind and experience life from a wider, even happier perspective.
As one of the daily practitioners described it, "For me, practicing yoga is a daily nourishment on several levels; spiritually, emotionally, mentally and on levels I do not yet know the names of. I learn to cultivate focus and patience in a way that influences all aspects of my life in a way that I cannot describe - it has to be experienced. In all, dedicating the first couple of hours of the day practicing, simply makes life more simple."
Do we need to say more? See you on the mat soon!
