‘Asana, when done with the right intention, will help to transform an individual by taking that person away from an awareness of just the body towards the consciousness of the soul’.
(B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life, 2005)
In our class today at Sunrise Yoga Studio we discussed Samskara, habits that can undergo transformation when we first begin to notice their presence and then begin to offer acceptance and the willingness to change. This applies both on and off the mat. Check out this article to see a great explanation of the process of acquiring and releasing Samskaras with scientific reasons for the existence of out behaviors.
