Yoga is a means and an end.
It is through the alignment of the body that I discovered the alignment of my mind, self, and intelligence.
People remind me of my age, but while practising I am beyond my body and its age.
What I was is unimportant, what I am now is important.
As animals, we walk the earth. As bearers of divine essence, we are among the stars. As human beings, we are caught in the middle, seeking to reconcile the paradox of how to make our way upon earth while striving for something more permanent and more profound.
While doing the postures, your mind should be in half-consciousn ess, which does not mean sleep. It means silence, emptiness, space, which can then be filled with an acute awareness of the sensations given by the posture. You watch yourself from inside. It is a full silence.
