You'll sometimes hear a yoga teacher talk about how they used to do heap of asana. All the tough stuff.
But now they just do a couple of sun sals and some meditation.
Look, there's nothing wrong with what they're saying, unless they make out like they've progressed onto the sun sals and meditation.
Like advanced asana is a phase, on the way to a seated meditation practice.
Playing one part of yoga off against another, is not the yogic way.
Yoga's not a zero sum game, where you can decrease this bit, but because you increased this other bit, all's well.
This is a western way of looking at yoga and is not yoga.
Peace out, J.
P.S. Yes, I know asana means seat.
