Reflections on Day One

Hi Everyone,

I thought class went really well today.   I made some adjustments to  the sequence so it reflects what we actually did.  Please look up a couple poses in Light on Yoga.  Try to do one pose today. It will help if you are sore!

Here is a list of some philosophical concepts we covered in class.

Atman- soul
karmendrias -organs of action
koshas -sheaths of the body,  ranging from physical to bliss level
yoga as a totality - reflected in names of poses, working opposite sides of the body to bring balance
Yoga as stilling the fluctuations of the mind (1.2)
Yoga as seeing our true nature (1.3)

Be sure to look over sutras 1,1 through 1.4 along with the assigned reading for Thursday.


Also  here are two other books you can choose from for your memoir reports.

Jesus in the Lotus  by  Russill Paul



and Autobiography of a Yogi    by  Parmanansa  Yogananda
