What is our project as yogis?  Unyoga yourself | Asana
practice v following yogic principles | Going into silence
practices | Bodybuilding as an entry to the mind | Importance of
devotion | Namaskar = Hindu push-up | Asana is not purely
physical |


Yoga of the west vs India | The role of a teacher v guru | 7
layers of teacher | Importance of finding ‘your’ teacher | Guru
is similar to therapist | Teaching focused on simplification,
deepening of faith, creation of patience | Silence &
surrender | Faith matures into surrender | Grateful for the
positives, humbled by the negatives | Life is simple but the mind
is complicated | Let your breath be the guide
