Yoga Asanas

Your body is precious. It is your vehicle for awaken-

ing. Treat it with care.

—Siddhartha Gautama

A

s you are reading these words, bring your attention
into your body. Without moving, notice your pos-
ture. How are you sitting? Are your legs crossed? Are you
in a comfortable position? Is there a part of you that is
straining? Now make any adjustments in your position to
enhance your comfort level. This is yoga. Changing your
posture as a result of bringing your awareness into your
body is the practice of yoga. The feedback loop is com-
pleted as changing your posture results in a spontaneous
shift in your awareness.
