Moment Yoga

Intensity is often misunderstood in yoga.
Many practitioners believe that going deeper means pushing harder.

But as B.K.S. Iyengar reminds us:
✨“The intensity of the stretch should increase and rejuvenate from moment to moment.”

This changes everything.

Intensity is not about force.
It is about sustained awareness.

If a pose leaves you fatigued or mentally dull,
the quality of effort needs to be questioned.

A well-practiced pose should feel more alive with each moment.
That is the intelligence of practice.

The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Happy snow everyone!!
