    Books recommendation

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 01:39 PM PDT

    Hello dear Yogis,

    I have only recently started with Yoga, around four months ago. I got lucky since almost in the beginning I had a chance to discover Ashtanga and to fell in love with it.

    Since I really enjoy reading I am curious if you have any books for a recommendation?
    At the moment I am reading Patanjali's sutras, and practicing (mostly) by David Swenson Practice Manual.

    That being said I am mostly interested in philosophy oriented Ashtanga or Yoga (in general) books.
    However, if you have any recommendations for books that affected you spiritually (I know that might be a broad term) and affected your understanding of Yoga those would be welcomed also.

    Thank you :)

    Dedication vs self-compassion in the practice

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 05:33 AM PDT

    I've been practicing for a little over 4 years, and my teacher has taught me through part of third series. I have a lot of respect for my teacher, but I don't understand why he keeps giving me poses, when I feel like I'm so far behind on what I view as the point of all this: meditating during practice, and trying to translate that into being a more compassionate person.

    I feel trapped between being a 'bad Ashtangi' (lacking tapas) when I replace practice with seated meditation and surya namaskar, and being a 'bad Ashtangi' (not following ahimsa with myself) when the daily 2 hour practice feels like a physical slog. If you have felt this way and/or talked to your teacher about it, I would love any input!
