“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” — Marcel Proust

One of the aspects I love about this quote in relation to Yoga is in how we practice.  The more present we are, the greater opportunity for openness…and new eyes.  Allowing for curiosity in practice…allowing room for play in how we investigate or approach actions and/or poses, can provide new insights, awareness and possibilities.  Depending on your lineage…there are finite and infinite poses that we practice.  Perspective and intention allows for the infinite…even within any finite syllabus of poses.
