Mysore Week 3: Yoga Is So Much More Than Asana

A Deeper Understanding

Every day in Mysore feels like an inner journey, challenging both my body and mind to their limits.

Sharathji and the Chanting teacher often remind us: "Asanas (poses) are not the entirety of yoga practice. Yoga practice is much more than just asanas." This statement deeply resonated with me.

The Complete Yoga Pizza

Asanas are like one ingredient in making a pizza — important, but not everything. To create a complete yoga "pizza," you need to add the other essentials:

•
Pranayama (breathing techniques)
•
Yama (ethical restraints)
•
Niyama (personal disciplines)
•
Chanting
•
Meditation
