“The practice of yoga asana [posture]
has a beneficial impact on the whole body.
Asanas not only tone the muscle tissues, ligaments, joints & nerves,
but also maintain the smooth functioning & health of all the body’s systems.
The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity & peace,
to free the body from confusion & distress.
By restoring the body, yoga frees the mind from negative feelings,
& fills the reservoirs of hope & optimism within.
Asanas boost metabolism, lymphatic circulation,
hormonal secretions, & encourage chemical balance between mind & body.”

[attempt] to stay WITH YOUR FIRST EDGEs LONGER
& MOVe THROUGH YOUR INTERMEDIARY EDGES SLOWER.
THIS WILL BRING A FEEDBACK SENSITIVITY THAT CAN HELP COUNTER
THE TENDENCY TO IGNORE your BODY'S MESSAGES."

FRIENDLINESS,
COMPASSION,
JOY AND INDIFFERENCE
TO PLEASURE OR PAIN
VIRTUE AND VICE RESPECTIVELY,
THE CONSIOUSNESS BECOMES FAVOURABLY DISPOSED,
SERENE AND BENEVOLENT."
