Book quotes

The Personal Yoga Practice Journal is my effort to support you in developing or reigniting your home yoga practice, so that you, too, have a place to go whenever you need to reconnect to your body, get a clearer picture of what’s going on in your life, and correct course when necessary.

As you know, consistency is key when it comes to practicing yoga. According to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, “The speed of your progress on the path of change is in direct proportion to your faith and the effort you put into it” (Sutra 1-22). If you are only mildly interested in transformation and attend to it occasionally, it will take you a lo-o-ong time to get there. If your interest is strong and your practice consistent, then you will progress faster. And, of course, if you are completely committed to your goal and practice your yoga on and off the mat all the time, the transformation will be rapid.

Your yoga practice is not something separate from your daily life; it can become its integral part. It can become the support structure that gives you physical stability, consistent energy and a focused mind to enable you to do whatever it is you want to do with your life. It can also become a safety net that will catch you when life gets rough. There is no better time to begin than now.

The yoga tradition recognizes that our systems are multidimensional and interconnected. Therefore, if we are planning to be vibrant, healthy human beings, we need to consider all the components that make up our systems: physical structure, physiological processes, the content of our minds, our ideas and attitudes toward our surroundings and our sense of connection to other people, society and the Universe.

The Panchamaya model (also called the Five Koshas) is a way to organize our thinking when it comes to different layers of our systems. Everything you’ve ever learned about yoga fits somewhere within the Panchamaya model; it is a yogic view of how things work within our bodies and minds.

Yoga is a unique discipline that has developed specific tools for addressing imbalances in each one of these dimensions. You don’t take Pepto Bismol to treat a headache – in the same way the selection of yogic tools needs to be appropriate for the issue that you are dealing with. Our job as yoga teachers is to continuously refine our skills and our understanding of each one of those five dimensions and apply our knowledge in a way that is appropriate for the student.
