True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.

Assignments:

  1. Introduce yourself to everyone on the Facebook page with a photo and a little about yourself!

  2. Begin your daily Sadhana (sacred practice) with an Opening Meditation including at least one Movement Meditation, an intention, and some dynamic movements combining postures from the Foundational Asanas video or section of your manual. Post on the FB page a picture of yourself in each of the Foundational Asanas, AND a video of yourself doing one of the Movement Meditations.

  3. After reading A Brief History of Yoga, choose one of the key figures mentioned or a different historical or modern figure that has made a big impact on the history of yoga to research. Then, make a post on the FB page sharing some interesting things you learned about that person and their contribution to the world of yoga as we know it.
