Tony Wolf |
Tony Wolff is author of The Yoga of Self Acceptance: Make Your Movement Your Own, to be published in 2010. He is a recovering achievement addict. He came to yoga from vipassana meditation over 20 years ago. He found the practice embodied ways to pay attention more closely by focusing on the actual physical experience that occurs through the effort of asana. But he also found himself striving to make his body do things that more experienced practitioners seemed to have mastered. After years of injury and dissatisfaction, the 5 Not So Noble Truths emerged: Slow Down, Pay Attention, Breathe, Relax, and Lighten Up.
