Recently in my seminar with Dylan Werner he presented 2 ways of doing poses, one was perfect and the other one was shaky. He asked us which one was true yoga or which yogi was more advanced.
Most people pointed towards the perfection where he floated in between poses and it seemed like he was light as a feather.
He then told us he was thinking about lunch when doing that one but completely in the moment doing the shaky sequince. He then asked the same question.
Yoga is not in the appearance of the poses, yoga is the mindset.
Yes exactly. That is so true, and if more people knew that then more people would be able to experience it instead of being put off by fear or worry.
And that is such a beautiful example, thank you for sharing that and adding it to the post
Thanks for your nice words, I just had to share it because so many people look at yoga and think they will never achieve that stillness we see in high level ashtangis for example.
Everyone can have that stillness, just practice things that work for your particular fitness level :)
I remember that, his reaction was a little harsh though, completely destroing his point. In the Ramajana the demon king Ravana practiced meditation with a rajasic mind and wrath became his undoing😅
