It is wonderful to read this as I am 70, still practicing, and still teaching, of course we age, but what a way to go!
that was beautiful, brought tears to my eyes, so true & real.
Hey Mike,
Thank you for taking such time and consideration of the questions I posed on your article. Reading through your answers gave me many ‘A-ha’ moments of understanding. I love that – clarity gained through the offerings of another. It’s the best of sangha right there.
In particular, your point that “Practice” refers to all eight limbs of Ashtanga, which is part of the path of Rajas, helped me to clarify and understand… as each of us may be on a different path of yoga, eg. Bhakti or Jnana, then what we practice will be different. What also brought it home to me was your excellent point that we teach what we practice, or we practice what we teach. If our practice is no longer predominantly asana, then can we continue to teach that?
Thank you for a great discussion.
