An actual Yoga expert explains another proper Yoga expert's aphorism on why it is important to have some sort of mastery of asana prior to attempting pranyama. To put it another way, do we run before we can even crawl? From my own observations over 20 years or so, it's clear that many people are struggling to breathe in a natural and relaxed way (mouth open, chest and belly tight..), but yet, advanced forms of pranyama, completely misunderstood, - and that could even be dangerous - are gaining momentum before the work has been done. Read carefully (and your own research). Actual Yoga requires dedication, practise and patience over many years. It's a journey. Right now there are very few experts - but you can definitely trust these two! #patanjali #bksiyengar #lightonyoga #whatyogais https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dT-6Ogxbx/?igshid=ggvbozc0ixug

I'm scratching my head.. 🤔. This cheeky monkey put a video up on YouTube a couple of weeks ago that is nothing more than a video of a video..a game..or something?? 🤷‍♀️.. It required no skill of any kind and has (thus far) garnered more than 300k views and a significant increase in followers. The toilet paper debacle is becoming clearer as is why humans might be headed for mass extinction! #ffs #idontgetit #youtubesensation #oliisapest #cutiepie #iknowthatiknownothing https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aF1WSAfl6/?igshid=10j5gknaarz53

A deeper and more intense variation of one of our twists from our current sequence. There are so many options - you can add or subtract, there are no demands - certainly not in my classes. The important thing is to connect and tune in with your own body. Don't get caught up in someone else's - they have a different story. And to ego, we say No. 😘🤗💜🕉🙏 #yogatwist #saynotoego #yogafun #yogasanas https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PrwpeAyC6/?igshid=13kom4p1jdzes

Mardi gras flashback - 2001, about six months before the world changed 😏. Those were the days... and that was an interesting night (that I don't really remember!🤔) If anyone knows English Jenny on the right, let me know. She was an industrial designer with blonde, not blue hair, who was my flatmate for a while before heading off an another adventure. She left me a beautiful farewell letter and that was it, which was odd 🤷‍♀️. Hope you are still safe and well Jenny and may all you party people have a ball this eve! 🤗🤸‍♀️💃🕺👭👬👫💜 #mardigras #australianmardigras #mardigras2001 #funtimes #flashback #beforekids #christinaanu (at Moore Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9JT9LzAKr8/?igshid=ndbitqizhky7

Why do we relax more quickly and find a state of bliss so much easier to sink into after a physical Yoga practise? Remember, "Yogasana" is the means, not the end. It is the means. It is the preparation 🕉🤗💜🙏. See my Facey post for more from Sadhguru. #hathayoga #sadhguru #yogatime https://www.instagram.com/p/B9D6VDGAPwu/?igshid=uympswyv9q9h
