The Joy of Yoga

"Would you briefly explain your approach to yoga and what it is you want your students to get from their physical practice?

I use the discipline of yoga to encourage the experience of stillness. The feeling of stillness is peace, and the feeling of peace is joy. That's simple and profound and exciting.

This is my emphasis because this is the most direct way of experiencing the truth about yourself. Experiencing yourself in stillness is like a wave relaxing into itself and thereby experiencing its inherent ocean nature."--Erich Schiffmann (p.3)
