Balanced Unity
– Tuesday 4:30-5:45 p.m.
Unity is the systematization of all the essential laws and rules of authentic yoga. What makes
yoga “authentic”? The process of moving inward rather than outward. Yoga’s three main
threads of practice (body, breath, and mind) are the markers of depth that define introversion
and make yoga practice authentic. As such, any practice of training the body should bring you
to an experience of energy or breath. Any practice of training the breath should bring you to an
experience of mind or self-observation. Any practice of training the mind should bring you to an
experience of no mind or absence of thoughts. Be prepared to build heat!
