W e With the popularity of yoga in
this country, its true depth has been diminished. In many cases, it has just a form of vigorous ap- plication of yoga postures for ex- ercise. Te focus on the physical aspect of hatha yoga has definitely had a powerful and beneficial im- pact. Today’s practice may provide the breadth but certainly not the depth of authentic yoga. Understand that the purpose of
the practice of yoga is the same as the meaning of the word yoga itself. Yoga means integration of the fragmented forces of your be-

ing that shows up as tension in the body, restlessness in mind, and emotional reaction. Regardless of what asana, pranayama or other technique you practice, it must be aimed at regaining harmony of body, mind, heart and soul. Te spirit of yoga is manifest at
a formless level. Yoga is incom- plete without the internal, invis- ible component. Te internal part of yoga represents the subtler form that must be brought into syn- chronicity through the external form. When inner and outer, ex- ternal and internal, come together in harmony, your practice makes a quantum leap to a whole new level. During your practice, the most important core principals to apply are: Intention, Meditative Inward Focus, and the Posture of Consciousness 1) Intention - Tis is deliberate

action (your movement) combined with integrative intention (internal union). By focusing on your inten- tion, you can track all the mental dialogue, disruptive thoughts and emotions that arise along with the external practice of the asana. In- tention is your guidepost; it con- tinually brings you back when your fragmented thoughts lead you astray. 2) Meditative, Inward Focus -

you will naturally begin to practice the posture of consciousness rather than the posture of ego, which is based upon competition, com- parison and judgment. Integrative intention and inward focus take you on the true journey of yoga-to discover for yourself the essence of your being through these timeless techniques. It is an alignment of all aspects of your being, surrounded by a web of trust and faith in the universe. An integrated, conscious yoga
practice consists of two parts: the first part of the pose, deliberate action, is the path. Te second part, surrender, is the pathless path. Once you are on the pathless path, there is no way of knowing of where you are going. You are traveling into the unknown. Te second half is not about a journey through space or time, but about being totally present wherever you are. Tis is where trust and faith come in. On the pathless path, all effort, doing and struggles are obstacles to be surrendered. It is a non-linear, non-logical, time tran- scendent state of being-presence. Tis is the experience of deep,
silent stillness where there remains nothing for the ego to do in the di- mension of space and time. When you are totally present, there is nowhere to go and nothing to achieve. Te ego’s futile struggle to find answers in the future in-
stead happens here and now. Te only lasting solution is unifica- tion, which brings resolution to all forms of fragmentation. Tis is the experience of yoga. You cannot get any more from
marriage than what you bring to it. You cannot get any more from life than what you bring to it. Tus, you cannot get any more from yoga than what you bring to it. If you bring just the physical benefits of the body as a central focus in your practice, then that is the most you can get from it. If you bring the body and mind to it, then you extend your benefits into a whole new dimension that is no longer confined to the body. If you bring the body, mind, heart and soul to it, then your practice moves into another dimension, where yoga can fulfill its true purpose. As a result, the posture of con-
sciousness you cultivate on the yoga mat is automatically avail- able in your interpersonal relation- ships. It bleeds into every one of your daily life activities. Whatever you do outside becomes internal- ized; what is inside becomes exter- nalized. Tere is no difference for the posture of consciousness - it is inside out and outside in.
