"Unlike tantra, all the basic yoga poses and yoga positions presented themselves as a package of exercises to be done by the practitioner for as limited a duration of time as the stretch of the exercise was. Then they again fell back to their faulty body postures, the ones they habitually had with them." - I was wondering if Eva would be able to get me or not.
Basic Yoga Poses
"Wouldn't it have its permanent effect on the body as well?" - she was really meaning to listen to me.
"Our bodies are not inanimate metal sheets that you can temper them by heating once and for all. They require to be in the right posture every single moment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 52 weeks a year... year after year; and it's then only that they can come out of their obstinate habitual distortions of body postures for good." - I said.
Advanced Yoga Positions
"Is yoga all about correcting one's body posture only?" - she was turning more curious as she was getting to know more and more about tantra and yoga.
"No, yoga is a system that proposes to take care of the total human life as such including its physical, psychological, moral and spiritual aspect. But you westerners know it better as a system of tedious body postures only and keep practicing them all through your life. No harm, but not much benefit either!" - I started laughing at her, just to play the game of life enjoying teasing her a bit.
"You bloody easterner, how dare you make fun of such a smart westerner as I am, standing right in front of you?" - she pulled my head by my hair and brought my lips down to the level of hers stopping them from speaking any more.
