Freedom from Anguish with Yoga

“Yoga is a way to freedom. By its constant practice, we can free ourselves from fear, anguish and loneliness…”

– Some yoga wisdom from the lovely Indra Devi

Today Muffles-the-yoga-cat has decided to hang out with the moths in the backyard, and I am here alone at my computer screen at 11pm ….

In my experience… fear and anguish are best experienced in loneliness.  Even if the spuds are boiling and the kids are screaming, you can’t really feel the desperate disconnected anguish of the too-long-isolated mind.   Yoga practice does give a sense of connection or unity, and in unity there is freedom.  I am sure some wise yoga teacher could speak to that.

Did you visit your yoga centre today…?  I did, but you know what.  I didn’t yesterday or the day before. I’ve decided to accept that my yoga practice is like a sine-wave – sometimes high, sometimes low, but always there – like a heart beat.

Yours,

Restaurant reviewers find it easier to travel incognito, and so do I. I travel a lot for work and use this as an excuse check out yoga classes, yoga courses and yoga colleges around my home country, Australia. In this yoga blog, I refer to yoga centres in Sydney. I am not actually a yoga teacher, just a passionate yoga student.

I have practised yoga in the US and have done yoga courses in India but have no bias towards any yoga style. Actually, maybe I am biased to a yoga style, or at least certain methods of education applied in yoga courses, but I’ll leave it to you to find out what that is. My mission? I just want people to think a little deeper about yoga.
