We practice the art of yoga in the world as students and as teachers…let us continue with the inquiry and quality it deserves!

Meditation is not only sitting in a room separate from life. It is the integration of our inner and outer Self with our divine nature while in the experience of life.

These two chapters of Tree of Yoga describe the powerful forces that are ignited and distributed by the practice of Pranayama, the 4th limb of yoga.
