Yoga and Balance
B.K.S. Iyengar, a renowned yogi, once said this about balance:
Balance does not mean merely balancing the body. Balance in the body is the foundation for balance in life. In whatever position one is in, or in whatever condition in life one is placed, one must find balance. Balance is the state of the present-the here and now. If you balance in the present, you are living in eternity. When the intellect is stable, there is no past, no future, only present. Do not live in the future; only the present is real. The mind takes you constantly to the future, as it plans, worries and wonders. Memory takes you to the past, as it ruminates and regrets. Only the Self takes you to the present, for the divine can be experienced only now. The past, present, and future are held together in each asana as thought, word, and deed become one (Light on Life 43).
Yoga Sutra 2:46: Sthira sukham asanam
“Asana is perfect firmness of body, steadiness of intelligence and benvolence of spirit.” Patanjali .
Namaste,
