The Principles of Āsana Practice (1)
The practice of yoga gives us the chance to experience the many different meanings of the word yoga. We have already described yoga as a movement from one point to another, higher one that was previously beyond our reach. It doesn’t matter whether this shift comes about through practicing
āsanas, through study and reading, or through meditation — it is still yoga.
修習體式的原則(一)
修習瑜伽讓我們有機會去體驗「瑜伽」一詞的諸多意義。我們曾將瑜伽描述為從一處到另一更高處的運動,那更高處是我們先前可望不可即的。這種轉變是通過修習體式、還是通過研究和閱讀、抑或通過冥想而發生,其實都無關緊要,因為這些都屬於瑜伽範疇。
