Busy Woman Yoga

We do yoga to increase our level of health and vitality. One of the things that's said to be extremely important health-wise is to drink a significant amount of water each day (usually 1/2 of your weight in ounces). But, it's not exactly that simple, as usual! Check out this information I am forwarding from Tony Robbins' web information - it's one more detail we need to be aware of.

In Appendix I of Light on Yoga, Guruji says that optimism and pessimism were equally balanced in his years of hard work toward mastery. He also urges us to be happy in what you have attained and never despairing at any temporary failure.

A great favorite poem from Be Here Now by Ram Dass in the '70s : I know that I know and that I don't know... But I forget. I see that I am blind and I see the blinding light in everything, but I forget. I see what I know I think I know what I see. But sometimes I forget. And This is the Way It should be. At the end of every forget I remember. - Lonny Brown

An email from IYNAUS (Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States). We wanted to remind you about the communal dedication to the memory of Guruji B. K. S. Iyengar on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, at 8:30 pm EDT (7:30 pm Central, 6:30 p.m Mountain, 5:30 p.m. Pacific, 4:30pm Alaska, 2:30pm Hawaii) for all IYNAUS members and any others who would like to join us. We are hoping that as many of us as possible, in our own practice spaces or at our yoga schools and institutes,... practice the following sequence of asanas. Except for Tadasana, we leave the timings to your best judgment. We ask that you hold Guruji in your hearts as you practice: Tadasana - 3 minutes Uttanasana Adho Mukha Svanasana Utthita Trikonasana to the right and to the left Adho Mukha Svanasana Uttanasana Tadasana - 3 minutes 5 minutes seated quietly

Your body exists in the past and your mind exists in the future. In yoga, they come together in the present. B.K.S. Iyengar

"From your physical body, you will journey inward to discover your "subtle bodies" - your energy body, where breath and emotions reside; your mental body, where thoughts and obsessions can be mastered; your intellectual body, where intelligence and wisdom can be found; and your divine body, where the Universal Soul can be glimpsed." Shri BKS Iyengar

"It is not merely the stabilization of the body in the asana but of the intelligence in the body that is of utmost importance." BKS Iyengar

Mr. B.K.S. Iyengar, my brilliant and amazing yoga teacher, died last night at the age of 95. His work has saved thousands and thousands of people. Here is the NYTimes link: http://www.nytimes.com//bks-iyengar-who-helped-bring-yoga-

...If enough of us are tempering ourselves into more whole human beings, then as the individual communities we live in emerge around the world, they'll eventually consume the present mindset of reality based on fear, competition, lack, hostility, greed, and deception. p. 303 You Are the Placebo by Dr. Dr Joe Dispenza - OFFICIAL NEWS & FAN PAGE

"...If an atom is approximately 99.9 percent energy and we're always focusing on the particle, maybe it's time we paid some attention to the wave, because our awareness and our energy are intrinsically combined - putting attention on our energy is what amplifies our energy." ~ Dr. Joe Dispenza
