“Yoga is the practice of quieting the mind.”
Patanjali
NATARAJASANA
Dancer pose
Balancing postures teach the mind to be grounded,
present in the moment and in the pose.
If you have your mind on everyday matters,
you won’t be able to balance and hold the pose.
Balance postures require our complete focus.
Being able to keep a quiet mind while balancing will bring us
in a more meditative state of mind,
and over time, will help us to approach life with calm awareness.

TeenyTinyOm waking up for yoga !
“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.”
Rumi

“The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character;
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
… And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings…
As the shadow follows the body,
As we think, so we become.”
Buddha
