The
yoga of yoga is a journey to explore, understand and experience the spirit
behind the teachings of yoga. It is a search that respects the timeless
teachings of ancient masters, while at the same time making it relevant
in the modern context It is a search to bring alive the vibrant techniques
of yoga so that they do not become mechanical.
Initially conceived as a series of seminars, this journey began in July
2001, when TKV Desikachar
and Kausthub Desikachar
conducted the first seminars in France and Germany. The message emphasized
was that one must seek to understand the spirit behind each of the tools
that yoga has to offer and not to focus on just techniques.
"The mastery of yoga must not be measured simply by the ability
to master the techniques of yoga like asana and pranayama, but how it
influences our day to day living, how it enhances our relationships and
how it promotes clarity and peace of mind." -TKV Desikachar
- in the first yoga of yoga seminar in France, 2001.
Whatever be the tools of yoga is that we use be it asana, pranayama, meditation,
relationships or others, there is a spirit behind each of these followed
by techniques. Our journey is to explore the relationship between the
spirit and the techniques and how we can adapt it to our rapidly changing
lives.
Now Kausthub Desikachar would like to share this message of yoga not just
through seminars but also through other media. This website has been re-designed
specifically for this purpose. This site will provide content and services
that aim to respect and share the spirit of yoga, and to integrate it
with our modern day world.
