It will contain books on a variety of topics...mostly non-fiction more than likely, but you never know. I'll
keep adding to this list.
I'm going to re-name the page that lists yoga and meditation practice related books and DVDs to "Yoga Books &
DVDs". This will contain my favorite practice guides and DVDs. It probably won't change much as the one's I have
listed continue to be my favorites.
I spent September 7 through 9 in Yellow Springs at a workshop with one of
the teachers who has had the most influence on the way I teach and practice...Erich Schiffmann. Here are three things Erich emphasized with regard to yoga posture practice...
1. It should never hurt.
2. you have options & choices.
3. be as
relaxed as you can be.
He also told a story that I loved...that makes my yoga practice even more
delicious and fulfilling.
He said that when he was little he was trying to wash the windows and making
them more of mess than when he started. His dad told him to take the cloth and go up and down three times, right to
left three times and then get into the corners.
So it feels to me like getting the basic posture is the up and down back
and forth part. But the moving, wriggling, experimenting, pausing, moving, listening part...that's the getting into
the corners...and that's what makes the yoga posture you're in feel sooo good and get so clear. Here's a picture
of the workshop. I think I'm in there somewhere...
