I skipped ahead a bit from the Portion on Contemplation to the Portion on Practice. First sutra in this section talks about the heat created when one practices, called Tapas. Apparently, some misinterpret it to mean discipline through physical pain.
I have started running again with a friend early in the morning. I certainly feel the tapas from this exercise in my quad and hamstrings right now!

- My first experience of yoga was a physical ed credit in college. I also have been active in taekwondo, skiing, snowboarding and soccer. A knee injury return my interest to yoga, and I was amazed at how good I felt after the classes--so much energy! My ability in other sports increased mentally and physically, I think injuries were prevented by my flexibility and strength from doing yoga. I found that my preferred form of yoga is Ashtanga. I continued yoga through two pregnancies and eventually received my certificate to teach yoga from Yoga Vermont. I now teach classes regularly at The Edge and within my community.
