Living Yoga“The postures are only the "skin" of yoga. Hiddenbehind them are the "flesh and blood" of breathcontrol and mental techniques that are still moredifficult to learn, as well as moral practices thatrequire a lifetime of consistent application andthat correspond to the skeletal structure of thebody. The higher practices of concentration,meditation and unitive ecstasy (samadhi) areanalogous to the circulatory and nervous system."Georg Feuerstein2

Hatha Yoga History and Philosophy29
TantraAs the hard boundaries that we normally drawaround ourselves dissolve, we feel more aliveand enter a world of greater experientialintensity. Relaxation and meditation replace ourordinary body image with an experience ofourselves as a fluid process that is connectedwith the larger, vibrant whole. In this experiencethe boundaries of the ego lose their rigidity.Georg Feuerstein30
Two centuries after the YS, anew current of religiousthought emerged in Buddhistand Hindu circles in SouthAsia. Scriptures called theTantras identifiedself-deification andsupernatural power as thegoals of religious life,employing “Yoga” as anoverarching term for theentire range of Tantricpractice.

One should meditate onthe Udgitha as the vyana.That which one breathesout is the prana and thatwhich one breathes in isthe apana. That which is thejunction of the prana andthe apana is the Vyana. Thisvyana is speech. Thereforewhen one utters speechone stops the prana andthe apana.From the ChandogYa Upanishad,Chapter 348
“It is the teacher’s foremost duty to give you back yourintelligence, to return you to your heart, to encourage you toaccess yourself. They do this by being who they really are, andby being completely honest and compassionate with you. It isin such an environment of absolute truth and trust that wefind the actual process of yoga, one in which both the teacherand the student are honest about what they know and aresincerely willing to look at the processes of how they knowwhat they know”Richard Freeman, from theMirror of Yoga49
