Prashant Iyengar writes
‘Teaching the body is a facet, which even a beginner has to evolve. But here, the ardent seeker teaches Trikonasana to the body, at times by the mind and at times by the breath’.
the statement above recognises that learning is not merely the acquisition of points of detail about an asana. If yoga is directed towards swadhyaya then we may limit our understanding and our experience by focusing on the body only.
