What is Ashtanga yoga, Mysore, and what can a beginner expect?

Surya Namaskar, Encinitas CA. Sri K. Pattabhi Jois {1989}

The Mission

What we are trying in all these discussions and talks here is to see if we cannot radically bring about a transformation of the mind.
Not accept things as there are but to understand it, to go into it, to examine it.
Give your heart and your mind with everything that you have to find out a way of living differently.

But that depends on you and not somebody else.
Because in this there is no teacher, no pupil, there is no leader. There is no guru. There is no master, no savior.

You yourself are the teacher and the pupil. You are the master. You are the guru. You are the leader.

You are everything.

And to understand is to transform what is.

J. Krishnamurti
