Yoga != Asana

While doing a quick Yoga search on Google, I came across this video on YouTube.  Very fun to watch but also conveys so many truths:  Asana is Yoga but Yoga is not Asana.  The young challenger is tall, lean, nicely bronzed, with the oh–so–cool bald look and sporting a trendy sticky mat sling.  The old master is balding, pasty white and pot bellied—clearly out of shape.  Yet it is this paragon of youth and the physical ideal that erupts in flame; defeated, not by the master, but by his own actions.

Remember Yoga is not about how pretzel–like you are but how you are.
