Triangle Pose x 100

I swear we did triangle pose at least a hundred times today in class. I had two classes with Prashant today and he had us in and out of triangle pose so many times. The last one was a super long hold. I had to give myself a silent pep talk at some point. Its hard to stay focused because the mental/intellectual work he has doing is so fierce. In a nutshell he is every class telling all of us that our approah to yoga is all wrong. That we are actually not doing yoga - that we are only obsessed with learning new points and tricks. He has us doing some exploratory breath work in the standing poses. Doing some actions before, after, and during a "profound" exhalation. The breath work adds a whole new texture to the fabric of the pose.  -Aaron

Having Ramanand as my teacher for many years, I understand what Prashantji is saying. :-)
