    Commentaries around

    “Yukta Abhyāsa or skilful practice.
    How to cultivate as intimate a relationship with our Practice,
    as with our Problems.”
    Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 14

    “Even in the case of Śikṣaṇa Krama the ancient had cautions.
    The teaching must be appropriate to the intelligence of the individual or Yukta Śikṣaṇa.”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983

    “Yukta Abhyāsa is how much a person practices what he is given.
    To see if he has learnt, understood and practiced.”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983

    “Even practice can be mechanical even if it is regular.
    So Yukta Anu Bhāva (skilful becoming) is
    how much you have learnt from the practice.
    What it has taught you.”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983

    “Finally, Yukta Pracāram (skilful spreading),
    you ask the person to transmit what they have received.”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983

    “As an adjunct or extension to the Āsana element of a practice,
    Prāṇāyāma can be applied to either enhance, stabilise or reduce
    the impact of accumulative effects arising from the Āsana element.
    The skill is being able to choose which is appropriate for that day,
    in relation to where we are coming from in terms of that day’s Āsana,
    and our personal choices as to where we are going to need to be after.”

    “Yoga practice is an Upāya to support
    the art of living more skilfully.
    Living more skilfully is an Upāya
    to support the art of Yoga practice.”
    – 108 Yoga Practice Pointers
