In Geetaji’s Women’s Class (2010), a simple but profound reminder was offered:

The aim of practice is not to think about the instructions—but to do the actions and feel the result in the body.

Analysis comes easily.
But learning happens when you apply the cue, stay with the pose, and quietly observe what changes—physically, mentally, emotionally.

Trust the process.
Be patient with yourself.
Let experience become your teacher.

Over time, the body understands far more than the intellect ever could.

💬 What changed in your practice when you stopped overthinking and started feeling?

You don’t need to be flexible to start Iyengar Yoga. Start from where you are. You become more flexible through practicing yoga but you don’t need to be flexible to begin. Come and join my class at Auchtertool Village Hall on Tuesday mornings

Energy

“The structure of an asana cannot change, as each asana is an art of holiness in itself. But when the sadhaka performs, he does his best at it. One has to study the structure of each asana, arithmetically and geometrically. As arithmetic is based on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, one has to add proper action in order to have proper adjustments; minus the unwanted, unnecessary and wrong actions by avoiding underdoing or overdoing; multiply the intensity of awareness and divide and distribute the energy evenly. In order to adjust geometrically, we have to measure the dimensions of asana so that we fit properly into it. Each asana in its methodology has certain measurements of its height, length, width and girth. Again there is a direction to the movement and action of the body which has to be followed properly. One has to analyse and realise the real shape and form of each asana so that it is expressed and presented properly.

Asana may be angular or triangular, straight or oblique, circular or semi-circular, round or oval shaped, upright or inverted. One has to note all these points in each asana by observation and study and then act in the field - the body - for the knower of the field - the Self - to perform in its pristine glory. It means total involvement of the whole body with senses, mind, intelligence, consciousness and self. One has to be careful not to create room for emptiness and forgetfulness in the known and the unknown bodies. One has to use the weapon of ego or ‘I’ consciousness carefully so that it neither gets inflated nor loses its well. This weight becomes submissive at the right moment.”
