Yoga Studio Ganesha

Beautiful rendering of anatasana by Victor van Kooten

This awesome elephant is made of bananas! It’s from India.

Today is Iyengar’s birthday. He was born 102 years ago! I love this picture and quote: When I practice, I’m a philosopher. When I teach, I’m a scientist. When I demonstrate, I’m an artist.

Today is my 20 year anniversary of owning the business, Yoga Studio Ganesha. Although I had to close the studio because of the pandemic, I am still running the ...business through online Zoom classes from home. I miss the studio and teaching in person, but I am thoroughly enjoying the Zoom classes. Contact me for more info if you’d like to try a class. See more

Inspiring yoga drawings and teachings by Victor Van Kooten

Here are some inspiring quotes from Dona Holleman: - The cave temples of Alaura in India were built by chipping away the parts of the rock which were superfluous to the forms hidden within the rock. So we to have to chip away the unnecessary tensions until our true body form emerges. - The correct asana is inherent in the body. If we could withdraw our personality, the muscles, bones and joints would do the correct posture. The reason why the body cannot do it is because it i...s blocked by our personality imposed on it. Instead of fighting to overcome these blocks, we should undo or melt them from inside so that the posture can flower by itself. - we are like people locked out of our house, trying to get in by storming the front door. Let us instead quietly slip in by the back door to open the front door from within.
