"The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in." ~B.K.S. Iyengar
Continuing on the yoga journey, we could not be teachers of a practice involving movement with grace without a study of anatomy, the physical makeup of the body. "Learning the relationship of the systems of the body helps us understand the body more intimately and opens our minds to the magnificent interplay of our physical being." ~David Abookire (our fantastically intelligent anatomy lecturer!)
I'm told our goal as teachers becomes efficency of movement, almost effortless movement. When our bodies work too hard, we fight ourselves, and we're no longer doing yoga. Yoga is the road home to a better understanding...of our bodies, ourselves, our minds.
Our anatomy lessons are sparking a renewed wonder, amazement, and respect for these beautiful temples where we house our souls.
