Light on Yoga. Light on life?

I made it happen! Day 1 of the suggested beginner’s yoga sequence in the Light on Yoga book, by noted yogi BKS Iyengar,is in the books, as of yesterday. The sheer resolve makes this worthy of a blog. Blyoga, I’m going to name it. A second attempt at this endeavour, even if it comes seven or eight years after the first one. 

I used this to guide me, https://experimentalexpats.com/2014/09/30/losing-a-job-is-good-for-your-health/iynagar-yoga/ because part of my material life is still boxed up. The box that holds my Iyengar yoga book is within reach but until today, unpacking it all would have ‘unpacked’ more.

The body is, unpleasantly more rigid than it has been, and sadly, so is the mind. Flexibility is what is being sought- in every sense of the word. The quest is harmony - of the mind and the body; of the senses and nature; of control and erratic disruptions. To conquer the sundry and yet, embrace the all.

One pandemic, two countries, two coasts and two states later, I am ready to change the state of inertia. To take on a new more mobile form of it. Onward to new rhythms in life.
