Reflections on a Guru

When I heard of your death, I paused and took a breath

I thought how I would feel now that you're no longer here

The pains setting in, I feel your presence gone

I listen to your voice, I hear you in my prayers

I wish I could hear you sing once again

I feel for your touch,  your authority and command

I was at ease when you were near

Thousands and more mourn, many more than me

So many before me, so few to come after

Still I feel the loss as I've been lucky to have known you at all

Thank you for your love, disipline and strength

My memories of you are all I have left

Sympathy for your family is all I can give

Faith to your teachings is all I can do

For your, my Guru, I miss you                                       by Charles Secallus 5/20/2009

Ashtanga yoga is a systamatic style of Hatha yoga linking a set series of postures with the breath. Each inhalation and exhalation is shared with a movement.  The asana is the resting state between the vinyasa. 

As the practioner converts the series to memory he or she deepens their yogic experience by placing the primary focus on thier breath, a focal point and the transition to and from each asana.  The breath, badhas, drishti and vinyasa makes Ashtanga yoga a comprehensive practice that  you grow with.  An ancient system proven to stenghen the body and the mind increasing one's devotion by gradually unfolding throughout one's commitment to the Ashtanga Yoga practice.
