Unity, not Uniformity...

I've been contemplating a yoga blog for a while. Not just as a place to record my own thoughts and progress, but also as a place to begin recording links to the thoughts, ideas, practices, and meditations of other yoga practitioners.

Because I've been considering the way my personal sadhana has changed and the kind of yoga I see as "right" for myself and for certain individuals (i.e. this individual's practice should be gentle & restorative, this one's practice should be more active, etc.), I appreciated this post on Everything Yoga. "Group think" and "perception" -- whether to be rigid in your view or open, whether to accede to a certain line of thinking or to feel comfortable with your own feelings about what is appropriate.

Which is why I like T.K.V. Desikichar's comment about "unity, not uniformity" as the goal of yoga....
