Cass Metzger, RYT, writes this monthly e-newsletter to deepen your understanding of your physical yoga practice. The yoga experience on the mat is very important and an essential prerequisite. No book knowledge can substitute for the sensations of actual experience on your mat.

But nilambu notes will expand your mind to connect with how your body extends on the mat. Only by fostering flexibility of the body, mind and soul will the full benefits of yoga be enjoyed. And you don’t have to live in the DC area to receive nilambu notes.

So why read a newsletter on yoga?

• This e-newsletter will tempt you to try yoga, if you haven’t already or inspire you to return or renew your practice. To find a registered teacher in your area click here.
• Many don’t have the time to investigate yoga beyond the physical practice.
• The immeasurable riches behind and beyond the physical practice of yoga are not widely known.
• Yoga philosophy clearly delineates the difference between intellectual knowledge and experiential knowledge.  The later is learned on the mat.  These notes can help with the former.  

What elements of yoga will nilambu notes address?

• History Understanding the evolution can validate your own personal yoga experience.
• Customs Diet, lifestyle and breathing can all animate your endeavors in yoga.
• Culture The philosophy can contribute to a better integration of yoga into other aspects of your life. Yoga can seem alien to Westerners, but the culture around yoga is not as foreign as you may think.
• Literature The popularity of yoga generates lots of books and articles which feature this ancient practice. Reviews will assist you in discerning among the overwhelming resources.
• Current Yoga Events Special yoga conferences and meetings will also be noted.
• Other Yoga Online Resources Other reliable resources to enable further investigation for those interested will be highlighted.
