Featuring The Daily Bandha blog, http://www.dailybandha.com/, "Scientific keys to unlock the practice of yoga". If you've ever been to one of my classes, you know I love yoga anatomy! I believe it is important for us to approach yoga as intelligently as possible. Take it seriously, because what you put in to your practice is what you get out of your practice. And believe me, yoga IS serious. It's real, it's effective, and it's powerful in ways you could never imagine. Now, of course, we can be serious and still have fun!
In order for your practice to be rewarding, safe, and therefore FUN, you've got to be inquisitive and curious. You've got to be patient, and you have to be gentle but firm with yourself.
The Daily Bandha helps yoga practitioners explore the deeper aspects of asana from a scientific/anatomical approach. The best part about this approach to yoga is that it has the opposite effect than you think it would--. science doesn't resolve for us the mystery and spirituality of the practice. If anything, science only deepens the mystery. The more I learn about how things work within our bodies, and in the universe, the more I am astonished by the miracles of life and this world.
