Mr. Iyengar speaks....

through the Sri Ganesha Tea and Book Stall. I am posting this here partly for my own future reference and partly for the reference of those who aren't already linked up to the "unofficial" website of Ashtanga Yoga New York (often referred to here as "AYNY").

As for me, I'm not going to comment on the comments on yesterday's post (WAS it only yesterday? It feels like a million years ago already!) other than to thank you all for taking the time to read "Yoga Chickie" and taking the time to post your thoughts so eloquently. I learn from all of you, and I hope that all of you can learn something from each other. In that spirit, I offer to you the following mantra (from Thich Nhat Hanh):


"Aware of suffering created by attachment to views and wrong perceptions, I am determined to avoid being narrow-minded and bound to present views. I will learn and practise non-attachment from views in order to be open to others’ insights and experiences. I am aware that the knowledge I presently possess is not changeless, absolute truth. Truth is found in life and I will observe life within and around me in every moment, ready to learn throughout my life."


Have a wonderful day...

About Me

My photo
Northern Westchester, New York, United States
I live by a duck pond. I used to live by the East River. I don't work. I used to work a lot. Now, not so much. I used to teach a lot of yoga. Now not so much. I still practice a lot of yoga though. A LOT. I love my kids, being outdoors, taking photos, reading magazines, writing and stirring the pot. Enjoy responsibly.
