23.01.2022 Yoga is an interior penetration leading to integration of being, senses, breath, mind, intelligence, consciousness, and Self. It is definitely an inward journey, evolution through involution, toward the Soul, which in turn desires to emerge and embrace you in its glory. - B.K.S. Iyengar https://www.hillsyoga.com.au/ #hillsyogaschool

20.01.2022 "The problem is that when students begin to do pranayama, they can’t see an immediate effect of it. So they feel that there is not feedback from the early stages of practice. Whereas from asana there is an immediate feedback: you feel nice; you feel something good happening in you; some life coming in you, blood getting circulated, feeling freshness of the mind; you feel that dullness is lessening. But in pranayama, these things cannot be felt immediately. It takes its own time." - Dr. Geeta S. Iyengar, 2002 http://www.hillsyoga.com.au/ #hillsyogaschool

17.01.2022 With backbends this week, this quote was seemingly appropriate to share! We love backbends so much as they provide us with so many wonderful benefits including (but not limited to): increased energy levels, improved breathing, alleviates anxiety and stress, stimulates the sympathetic & lymphatic systems, opens the front side of the body and overall contributes to overall spinal health and correct posture! Does anyone else feel a rush of emotion when they delve into their ba...ckbends? We do and that's why we love this excerpt from an interview on backbends with B.K.S. Iyengar in 1991: "Backbends are to be felt more than expressed. The other postures can be expressed and then felt. But in backbends, like meditations, each person has to feel. And that’s why I thought that after fifty years of teaching, at least some of my students should get the background of the right means to perform the backbends. Backbends are not poses meant for exhibitionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes. The back body cannot be seen; it can only be felt. That’s why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back, first on the peripheral level, then inwards, towards the core. For a yogi, backbends are meant to invert the mind, to observe and to feelfirst the back, then the consciousness and the very seer. Through the practice of backbends, by using the senses of perception to look back, and drawing the mind to the back portion of the body, one day meditation comes naturally. In other poses, the attention on the back is not given to such an extent and the mind moves outside. Backbends have principles of their own and learning the workings of the mind and intelligence in backbends naturally leads one towards the real aspects of life and the higher aspects of yoga. Because I feel that one who knows, and who looks into the back can look into God. And that’s the reason I gave these backbends." https://www.hillsyoga.com.au/ #hillsyogaschool
