Day 36

Yoga- somehow or someway I fell in love with Yoga in high school. I probably read about Yoga from reading Aldous Huxley's bio after Brave New World.  I knew that he was in LA and interested in Vedanta. So I bought a book and started practicing with my brother. We did postures and I tried to get a string through my nose and failed. I wanted to be enlightened and wrote Huxley that I was interested in Raja Yoga- he wrote back and wished me well saying to "Start with the Basics". I took Yoga with me on my travels as a friend and sometimes we were closer than others. I liked spontaneous meetings with others that practiced- and also home classes way before the Yoga boom. I met some ridiculous teachers that were full of themselves, but such is life-and some studied and true. I still practice its been a long time and I am still a beginner.. as Mr. Huxley noted.
