august is the month of Ramadan where all muslims in the world would fast. during the fasting month, yoga classes would still go on. i'm delighted to see so many that many students showed up for today's class.
i've always loved classes during the fasting month. it is the time where we easily work on our body alignment, just staying in poses and connecting with our breathe and our mind ~ simply relaxing and restorative :D

yoga sutras, the 5th limb of yoga which is pratyahara which means withdrawal of the senses. i personally think that fasting is a good way to practice pratyahara. Just as the body benefits by fasting from food, so the mind benefits by fasting from impressions.
happy fasting!
