If you can, please watch this very thought-provoking documentary- Who Owns Yoga? Yoga is a beautiful age-old tradition which fundamentally involves becoming aware of the Ego-self and choosing to no longer identify with it. This is what comes up in Yoga postures, and the awareness of it is what deepens the practice and makes each Yoga practice unique, authentic and different- which actually makes it Yoga. Something to contemplate- if you are competing with yourself and others solely for the perfect posture in a Yoga practice, are you diluting your own experience? There is a difference between just practicing postures versus actually practicing Yoga. As it is, you may find that one day your life is void of things, people, awards, and other ego satisfying distractions. All you will have left is your breath, and then you will have no choice but to look deep within and begin an authentic Yoga practice- one in which you become aware of the difference between self and ego-self, and start listening to your body. When a practice is authentic, it can never be repeated twice! If we all learn to practice Yoga authentically, there will be no need for patents and copyrights on sequences or ways to share Yoga. There is plenty of room for everyone to succeed on the creative plane! May all of us who wish find an authentic Yoga practice which supports us always- during the bad times and good times, and fills us to the brim with Peace and Joy in each moment. Much Love!!! https://youtube/watch?v=ZmJNsvc63pM#t=38
