This week’s progression in . “There are two kinds of practice in yoga. When you are totally absorbed in it, without the reflection of past impressions, but doing and adjusting from moment to moment towards perfection and precision, it becomes spiritual. If you are oscillating, if your mind is wandering, or if there is a difference between yourself, your body, your mind, your thoughts, then it is sensual, though you may be practicing yoga and though you may call it spiritual. You are a beginner in yoga. I too I am a beginner from where I left my practice yesterday. I don’t bring yesterdays poses to today’s practice period I know yesterdays poses but when I practice today I become a beginner. I don’t want yesterday’s experience, I want to see what new understanding may come in addition to what I felt up to now. in this quest my body is my bow my intelligence is my arrow in my target is myself. I am aware inside and I am aware outside. we must learn to stretch the bow well before we can hit the target so go on extending the bow of your body. then the arrow of your intelligence will become sharp, and when you release the arrow, it will hit the target which is your soul. don’t worry about the target, when the bow is stretched well and the arrow is sharp, you will hit it.” BKS Iyengar, The Tree of Yoga. #יוגהישראל
