Yoga Sutra 1:12-14
12 Both practice and nonreaction are required to still the patterning of consciousness.
13 Practice is the sustained effort to rest in that stillness.
14 This practice becomes firmly rooted when it is cultivated skillfully and continuously for a long time.
Now sit back, relax, breathe deeply and enjoy some classic footage of two masters of the art of yoga.
Indeed impressive, however Yôga is much more than ásana
as the satguru from my lineage use to say, realy important ásana is, but still its just 0,01% of the overall Yôga practice 
the most important is the full integrated method you use.
By the way I will take this opportunity to share with all of you The World Yôgapedia Project:
You are welcome to contribute!
« World Yôgapedia Project (WYP) is an initiative offered totaly free
to the World. The objective of WYP is to become a world repository of
Yôga definitions and concepts. It will start as a big glossary, and
will evolve afterwards, as more and more internet users provide
contribuitions. The pages content editing inside WYP follows the Wiki
approach. The internet community can completly and freely edit WYP
pages. »

@Júlio – Thanks for the insights. Couldn’t agree with you more that yoga is so much more than just pretzel tying. That’s what makes it such a wonderful subject of study and practice. Also, I like the idea of the WYP and hope that it turns out to be successful. I’ll see what I can do to contribute.
Hi Brian, I am the one thankfull for your words, in fact and its true “we” in the west are very good in “destroying”, “simplifying”, adding noise, to everything coming from oriental phylosophies, and Yôga its realy something fabulous.
Please contribute to WYP, we started it because we realy see a value there, its the next generation of wikis, which is a verticalization, or specialization of specific and dedicated topic encyclopedia. We hope it can grow to something which can realy become usefull for students and practitioners of Yôga.
I will stop by your blog congratulations for it
Regards!
