Ida: I guess when I try to do a pose and think, "Ugh, this is too hard" it becomes that way because I thought it in that way. But, if I see it in a challenging and even fun way...it can be that too!


Kassie: It's the attitude we bring (to the edges we find as we practice) that makes them either painfully frustrating or expandably liberating :) We either judge and beat ourselves up or playfully relax into growth.


Ramesh: thoughtslessness is the state of mind at highest level no to and fro movement of thought.Benefit High supply of energy from cosmos to our body and mind which is stored by YOGIS AND YOGINIS to utilize in right way later


Lucy: Patanjali "vrittayah panchtayah klishtah aklishtah" which means the modifications of the mind are fivefold and they are painless or not painless. you have to go beyond the realm of thought to experience satchidanand. and this can be done with yoga where yoga is both the means and the aim. 2hen as 5ita sys "sthita pragyasa todocyate" he who has stable wisdom, he is called a yogin. stability and pleasure in an asan, then breath, senses will take you to the place where concentration starts. om
