To attach yourself to the body image is against the core tenets of the yoga sutras - none of my teachers have ever pushed for this - rather more focus on the breath, the core, being steady & comfortable.

Paul Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:17:20 +0000 http://yogaisforlovers.wordpress.com/?p=595#comment-3002 Well said! My current teacher often notes that nobody said that yoga is supposed to be easy or comfortable, and his classes certainly are neither. However, he also stresses that you really shouldn't be breaking a sweat, something that at first surprised me, coming from a typical American-style vinyasa background (although I never weighed my clothes - that's something else!). He also notes as Liz does, that yoga without attention to the breath is just gymnastics. And most importantly, class is where you learn, home is where you practice. This has been the most relevatory. Well said!

So yes, agree with you fully!

I enjoyed reading about your Yoga history. It's fascinating because it's the exact opposite of mine. I have approached Yoga almost entirely from the philosophy and spiritual angle. Partly this is because I already had a highly demanding physical practice--competitive tennis. In fact, I originally got into Yoga to inprove my flexibility for tennis. But I quickly became enamored with the other aspects of Yoga. Please see http://Yoga Demystified.com for the opposite end of the Yoga spectrum. I love the diversity of Yoga.
