✨ Yoga is not a competition.

Its aim is the perfection of both head and heart — a union where intellect sharpens and spirit softens.

Just as an artist devotes themselves to their craft, yoga asks us to release distractions, train the mind, and cultivate total attention. 🧘‍♂️

When practice matures, every thought, every act, becomes spiritual communion — taking us to the zenith of inner life. 🌿

👉 What does “perfection of intellect” in yoga mean to you?

“One has to find the median line of each asana so that the energy is properly distributed. When one wavers from the median line, then one goes either to the past or the future. Vertical ascending is the future; vertical descending is the past. The horizontal is the present. The present is the perfect asana. When you open horizontally, the future and past meet in the present. This is how dynamic extension and expansion allow you to find balance and live more fully in the present through your body. In asana, we find balance and integration in the three dimensions of space, but we also find balance and integration in the fourth dimension of time.”

“योगः दीपः — Yoga is the eternal flame.
Guruji’s presence remains in every breath and every āsana.”
