I’m happy to be reaching students at any and all level of practice. I’m hoping that my “yoga corner” can be place where students can “hang out” and share insight, as you have done. Thank you for your thoughts!

Thank you for posting. I am one of Bob’s current students and often I find that something he says during class begins to grow outside of class on the street in the practice of everyday life. This balance is one of those ideas, and although I am early in my yoga practice, I can see how the three gunas interact in that practice and elsewhere. It is especially interesting that there is a powerfully positive way to look at each of the gunas, though we often focus on the negative aspects of gravity (torpor) or activity (busy), thoughtfully using the strengths of each is where the balance is. And YES I can surely see this in my daily life. Thanks again.

I’m glad you could relate! Anyone who has studied with Bob knows how rigorous and joyful yoga practice can be. That being said: When are you going to resume your yoga practice?

Good job Guna, I mean Grandma! This is a very interesting post to me, considering the fact that I too studied under Bob for some time. I definitely appreciated the amount of effort and detail that he put into explaining not only how to perfect the physical poses, but also how to fine tune the mental component of yoga as well.
