Where to go? And how to get there?

Knowing how to handle ourselves is the correct way to understand where to drive us and to figure out where the most profitable directions are; it means to be aware of what is going in the correct direction and to be able to adjust the remainder.
If we have learned to drive a car and we have been practicing well, then we could recognize from the noises or from the tools that something is going wrong, as well as if we drive “zigzag” or we bump: here we figure out that it is necessary to revise our wrong-way driving. Therefore we realize that we are doing things that are not relevant to keep and to drive the car well.

 If we compare this idea to our lifestyle, after all, we can see that too often we just pay attention whether our external look is ok or not; it's like to say that to drive a car well we just need to have a good and nice bodywork.



How can a car give us all the profits that we could have or deserve from itself just by its bodywork? 



How can our life give us happiness if we take care just of our outwardness?
It is the same as wishing to have good sound from an empty instrument!

Why this Blog?

This blog is written for those who are interested in Yoga.

For those who feel the desire to approach to it and either for those who are already practicing some methods (or even teach them to someone else).

Most of the time when you attend a Yoga class, a little bit or nothing is explained. It is often suggested to just copy what the teacher performs.
 
I kindly ask you to follow me in this simple example: if you want to learn how to drive a car, the driving school does not tell you just only to copy what the teacher does, but you must learn a large number of things related to the car itself and also the driving principles;
all of this is usually explained thoroughly, thus everybody listen and then learn. Just to name a few, you are told how to use the equipment, the foot pedals, how the engine works, such as fuel use, what the signs mean, which are the traffic rules, how to have a safe driving, etc.. Then you are brought ​to familiarize yourself with a gradual and direct experience of what you have previously learned in theory.

With regard to the Yoga practice, it is curiously believed that the ability to manage better yourself at all levels (physical, psychological, emotional, character, energy, mental and spiritual) – i.e. the ability to acquire the know how in order to perfectly drive the super complex machine that we actually are (that is by the way one of the main purposes of the Yoga techniques) – could be achieved just copying some exercises, sometimes weird, executed by some people.

To understand the Yoga techniques and to gradually acquire the benefits at all levels are needed many theoretical explanations and experiments on ourselves, done with our body but not only; at the same time many other mechanisms that are part of our complexity can and should be put in action.
Just only so there is knowledge, progress and deep benefits!
