WHAT IS YOGA?
Another Short & sweet interview ; )
Nick debates about Yoga with B.K.S. Iyengar in Pune

Who was your guru's name? T.Krishnamarcharya

What were the yoga teachings he imparted?
How to keep the body under control. The philosophy came only after 6 years. Let me stand on my feet first.

What is the goal of Yoga?
By the grace of God, it's a subjective way of eradicating the instinctive weaknesses of human being. For some it may be quick, for some it may be slow. But change has to take place, transformation has to take place, whoever it may be, in whatever average intellectual condition they are.

Describing Asana:
Asana is a preparation, but everything is inherent in it also. Yoga can take a man into two ways of living: enjoyment of life, or liberation in life.

No it doesn't matter at all which you choose.
The channels are open both ways.
Choose which way - how you use it…
