- 3 Main Philosophical Schools of Ashtanga Yoga- Yoga Sutras, Pradapika, Vedas-Devotional Tradtion
- Do Mula bandha all the time except when sleep, in svasanana, in using the bathroom. Do a little Mula bandha throughout the day. Just a small percentage. Do Mula Bandha 100% while practicing.
- Guruji said that, during pranayama, they should be able to inhale or exhale long enough to say the Gayatri Mantra in their head. She had us do a slow 10 second inhale and a slow 10 second exhale.
- Pranayama is the quickest way to burn samskaras
- The hamstring attachment injury that is so common in yoga today is caused by stretching the hamstring without using bandhas.
- 3 months to heal ligaments. Every time you cause pain at the sight of the injury, it takes another 3 months to heal it.
- Headstands require solid structural foundation in shoulders. Protract shoulders to access strength in the shoulder girdle
