What is Advanced Yoga?
Dear One,
Advanced Yoga in America is usually understood as the ability to practice very physically challenging asanas (postures)like the scorpion or headstand. But this understanding reduces yoga to only the physical body. The word yoga comes from the root word yug which meant to yoke an ox to a cart which symbolizes a person's capacity to reunite their essential union or Oneness of themselves with the Self. The feeling tone of yoga is a calm mind open to divine guidance and an unconditional loving heart. If you can do that all day, you are doing advanced yoga! It starts with the breath. As the breath goes so goes the mind. Slow, smooth deep breathing tends to calm the mind. I have taught advanced yoga to paraplegics so if you are thinking, I can't do yoga because I am inflexible or too old, your mind has already defeated you! Does flexibility start in the mind or the body? If you said mind than you are ready to begin the practice and experience of yoga. Please go to www.plashayoga.com to learn about the next FREE introductory class.
May your journey go well!
