Dont get it twisted! You dont have to chant OM to do yoga...in fact, most yoga today is not yoga at all. Its become diluted because teachers today have tainted the essence of the practice by spinning off into every pose and variations of sequences. Authentic yoga involves doing something much calmer. By doing deep intensive breath work your first need to create a more flexible less rigid mind. This is how you achieve a meditative state of mind, which with practice can lead to an altered state of consciousness. The point of the poses is not to inflate your ego, but to induce meditation and create the platform from which the balance poses can more easily be achieved. Clearly, the variations you can do using balance require intensive focus and awareness on the deepest levels. If you cant concentrate and your body is tense, there is no way you will be able to handle the balance poses for any length of time. Balance should be done at the end of the practice as a grand finale! Being true to your practice is not about flowing or the room being hot at all. Its treating your body from where it is at, creating a practice that is the medicine you need in the moment. The meaning is to yolk or create union with the mind, body and spirit. You can do this without do an asana (poses) at all...you can just be in the asana at any given moment by breathing and concentrating on the breath. People are surprised that meditation and calming your nervous system down can be done anywhere, anyplace, anytime. The idea is the opposite of what most of the bravado yoga offers today. If you are going to raise your core temperature & bring your ego ego into it, then its just a workout. AUTHENTIC YOGA, is personalized since it is an inward practice that connects you to your true greatness and teaches you to be mindful and present in the moment. There is a lot of confusion about the mind body connection as well. I want to clarify something about your chakras and your body. Chakras are not within you, they exist with in the Universe. Keep in mind, your body is a capsule that is not outside the universe but exists within it. That inner universe is where You will find the best sensations in the world and amazing natural medicine.
