  ‘I don’t bring yesterday’s poses to today’s practice. I know yesterday’s poses, but when I practice today I become a beginner. I don’t want yesterday’s experience. I want to see what new understanding may come in addition to what I felt up to now.’ ― B.K.S. Iyengar   We’ve made a few changes at The […]

The Good and Bad Pain

November 20, 2015 Hasu Opa Clark 5 Comments
