Prashant

Everyone is all a flitter about Prashant Iyengar. We spend a lot of time discussing his classes. His teaching style is very different from Geeta's. He does not spend very much time discussing alignment, if at all. Mind, Body, Breath. These are his talking points. He is saying that we are always doing doing by focusing so much on making adjustmnets. So he is challenging us to make the shape of the pose, tend to the mind and then use the breath to stay and maintain. It's the maintaining that is the biggest challenge for me. When I told a fellow yogi about my challenge yesterday, in passing he said, it's just insecurity. He was right. I feel insecure and constantly adjust because I there's always the chance that I could find a better pose. It's similar to our new cable at home. Because there are so many hundreds of channels I keep flipping through because the next one could be better than the one before it.
