Yoga and knitting...

Spent a wonderful weekend in Westborough doing yoga. The yoga I study (and taught until very recently) is called Svaroopa® -- it’s a slow deep form of yoga that emphasizes the release of the muscles along the spine. It’s great for everyone, especially those with sore backs. If you're looking for something a little different from the current aerobic, hot, sweaty yoga, then try Svaroopa® . A list of teachers is available on the Master Yoga Foundation website.

*Svaroopa means “the Bliss of your own Being.” It's mentioned in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra 1.3 --tadaa drashtuh svaroope ‘vasthanam -- when the mind becomes quiet, you will abide in the bliss of your own being. What could be better than that?

Funny, I read this post and was very curious long before I met you. Now I will have to look into Svaroopa.
