QUOTES:
  • Leslie Kaminoff: “Our job is not to focus on what has gone wrong in a person’s body. Our job as yoga educators is to focus on what is still going right.”
  • Leslie Kaminoff: “Healing is different from fixing or curing. Sometimes healing involves changing your relationship to what has gone wrong.”
  • T.K.V. Desikachar: “Your yoga practice must always be a little more clever than your habits.”
  • T.K.V. Desikachar: “The recognition of confusion is itself a form of clarity.”
  • T.K.V. Desikachar: “Yoga is relationship.”
  • T.K.V. Desikachar: “Without the breath it’s not Yoga.”
  • Leslie Kaminoff: “If you can make even a tiny bit of positive change in something you do a lot of (like walking or breathing), it leads to a lot of positive change.”
  • T.K.V. Desikachar: “You cannot have yoga without viyoga.”
  • T.K.V. Desikachar: “The form of an asana must serve its function.”
  • Amy Matthews, paraphrasing Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen: “Healthy movement is well-distributed: a little bit of movement from a lot of places.” This was further clarified by Leslie: “a little bit of movement, coming from a lot of places, repeated a reasonable number of times.”
  • Conversely, Leslie Kaminoff says “Unhealthy movement is too much movement coming from too few places repeated too many times (repetitive stress).”
  • Leslie Kaminoff: “Asanas don’t have alignment, people have alignment. Asana is something people do, it does not exist outside of an individual’s body.”
  • Leslie Kaminoff: “There is no such thing as an asana without the person making the shape. You can’t abstract asana outside of the person doing it.”
  • Leslie Kaminoff: “It is far more powerful to engage someone in an inquiry than issue a series of instructions and corrections.”
  • BoS : CoG : RoM – Leslie’s movement philosophy: start with BoS before moving on to changing your center of gravity (core in motion) before RoM (full expression of the pose). If at any point you experience difficulty, go back to the prior step:
    • BoS: Base of Support
    • CoG: Center of Gravity
    • RoM: Range of Motion
