Practice and Life are not that Different

"Follow your nature.
The practice is really about uncovering your own pose; we have great respect for our teachers, but unless we can uncover our own pose in the moment, it's not practice — it's mimicry.
 Rest deeply in Savasana every day. Always enter that pratyahara (withdrawn state) every day.
And just enjoy yourself. For many years I mistook discipline as ambition.
Now I believe it to be more about consistency. Do get on the mat.
Practice and life are not that different." — Judith Hanson Lasater 

The Promise

From the day I met Mark Whitwell a few years ago in LA and having recently spent a few weeks in India with him...he continues to promise me that if I practice my yoga for 7 minutes a day for 3 months...my life will change for the better through creating intimacy with my Self. What does all of this mean?

I spent 2 weeks in India with some beautiful strangers, now friends...and our hearts were open to receive Mark's teachings. Though his teachings are quite simple..they are also complex. That is why I will be having some of the other students and teachers share their experiences on this blog as well. The day to day quests and questions of 'this Promise'...

Here we start.
