Presto...Astanga For Life!
I obviously believe in this practice, and I hear these words (Astanga for Life) of David Williams in my head, but many students new to Astanga realize quickly: Astanga Yoga For Life, doesn't actually mean you learn it in a month or so and practice it for the rest of your life. This is an ever unfolding practice...while it is a set sequence that you can indeed commit to memory in a short amount of time, this traditional practice has many layers to unravel, to strip away, to uncover...a sense of going deep within self - and for that, we give time for true practice. A truly worthwhile experience of yoga. As Pattabhi Jois said: practice, practice, practice & all will come. What you need for body, for health, for mindset, for life.
