Favorite Yogic quote: “The body we have today is nothing but the accumulation of our past thoughts, emotions and actions. In fact the body is the crystallised history of our past thoughts...asana is the method that releases us from past conditioning, stored in the body, to arrive in the present moment. It is to be noted that practicing forcefully will only superimpose a new layer of subconscious imprints based on suffering and pain. It will also increase identification with the body. In yoga, identification with anything that is impermanent is called ignorance (avidya).” Gregor Maehle, Ashtanga Yoga Practice and Philosophy
