The teaching (not the planning, practicing sequences and thinking about teaching) has contributed SO much to my yoga life and my personal practice and I can see that there is much more ahead.

But until it is integrated through practice and living it remains on the surface. Knowledge enters the realm of wisdom only through experience and time. I also choose to learn from older teachers, those who have had the time for their Yoga (and I include all Eight Limbs) to become a part of them. This does not happen overnight. It happens with years of intentional practice.Charlottehttp://www.charlottebellyoga.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-78453020979231068372011-08-10T11:31:13.124-05:002011-08-10T11:31:13.124-05:00as a life-long gardener (and garden designer besid...as a life-long gardener (and garden designer besides yoga teacher), gardening IS yoga to me.<br /><br />gardening is all about non-attachment, aversion, watching things arise and pass away, impermanence. seeing the Universe inside an acorn. watching something sweep away the Tibetan mandala of an anthill the ants so painstakingly built and watching them start again. <br /><br />yoga is life.Linda-Samahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664989345039365084noreply@blogger.com
