“…training your soul as trainining your body”: this is exactly what yoga does: bringing awareness in every single cell of your body to access your soul and bring balance between the two. This is the subtle line that unites endurance sport and yoga: they are both slow, step-by-step hard working from the body to the soul, ie. journeys WITHIN. As my guru BKS Iyengar would often says: “Yoga is meditation in action”. That’s why I started running, I keep running longer and …on higher elevations: they say all asana (postures) are Tadasana, the posture of highest elevation from your feet to the crown of your head. I am trying to feel the MOUNTAIN-like “union of the individual self with the universal self”…. (and to bring it down, too). It’s so beautiful to see so many of us! Namasté
Love it Dan, it’s al about the meaning of your life. I couldn’t agree more. It’s not about the competition with others, it’s the competition with yourself. How much can you push yourself? How much can you endure? And you’ll probably realize how special it is to be around people at some point, and then it’s How kind can you be? How much fun can we all have together?
Thanks for writing this post, it’s a good one.
