I love Astanga because it takes me into this meditative zone where I forget everything else and I'm just *completely* in my body and deeply connected to my breath.<br /><br />In other words, Astanga takes me to that mind/body/spirit connection place, the same place you find when you do Iyengar.<br /><br />I'm sure the Bikram and Forrest people also find their way to the Place of Bliss, via their different paths.<br /><br />Guess this is why there are different styles of yoga, eh? Different journeys, same destination.

And as I say that, know that I have never practiced astanga.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565974219676416897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-54110288646447168932009-08-22T18:32:10.363-07:002009-08-22T18:32:10.363-07:00@YogaforCynics
