Guru Vision, Guru Blindness - Austin Yoga Institute

New blog on our website: http://www.austinyogainstitute.org/guru-vision-guru-blindness/ ‎

Guru Vision, Guru Blindness - Austin Yoga Institute I started writing this essay almost 25 years ago, and for mysterious reasons, never finished it, submitted it to any journal or magazine, or even put it on the blog I’ve developed. It languished! Inspired by a conversation with Lois Steinberg in Urbana, Illinois, recently, as well as an essay on Car...

Food for thought from Iyengar....

"Why do you think of violence in the world? Why don't you think of the violence in you? Each one of us has to train himself or herself, for without discipline we cannot become free, nor can there be freedom in the world without discipline. Discipline alone brings true freedom. If you have to gain health, do you think you can do so without discipline? Moderation in living is essential. This is why yoga starts with a code of conduct which each individual has to develop.
The circumstances of life are there for our evolution, not for our destruction. Yoga works on your conscience. Yoga works on your consciousness. Yoga works on your intelligence. Yoga works on your senses. Yoga works on your flesh. Yoga works on your organs of perception. Thus, it is known as a global art. " BKS Iyengar, The Tree of Yoga

Right time of year for these supported poses!
