 Practice what makes sense!

Our bodies are sacred and when we can better understand how our bodies are put together physically and energetically we can then better understand how they move and what is best for them; and at the center of this all is our "core".  Structurally not only is this the hub that everything feeds into but energetically our identity center (3rd Chakra) resides here.  It's a balancing act of energy, emotion and physical needs.  You can't just assess one and expect great things and this is where mind-body integration is falling short.  Yoga, especially asana practice is a "physical" practice and it does matter what you are doing with people sacred bodies and it does matter how you do it and where the movement is coming from.  And on the physical side it does matter what is going on energetically, mentally or emotionally because this could very well be inhibiting progress and even be the cause of injury. 

Let's merge these concepts and really start to step out and assess everyone as a whole unit, this means that for those of us that are teachers we must to step out of our comfort zone and start to see outside our box, because inside of it we are the only ones there.
