yogaHindu philosophical system attributed to Patanjali, who lived about 150 BC at Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, India. He preached mystical union with a personal deity through the practice of self-hypnosis and a rising above the senses by abstract meditation, adoption of special postures, and ascetic practices. As practised in the West, yoga is more a system of mental and physical exercise, and of induced relaxation as a means of relieving stress. |

BKS Iyengar's outstanding contribution is how he has codified and refined the practice of asana (poses) and pranayama (breath control) to reflect the whole of the Yoga Sutras. Asana is another spray that controls the balsam woolly adelgid, a European insect that has devastated Fraser firs in forest stands, flattening their tops, swelling their joints and hardening their wood. Lloyd, an industry veteran totalling 35 years experience with BOAC and British Airways, held the position of president of Air Asana, a unique airline in many ways, established by the government of Kazakhstan (51% ownership) with BAE Systems (49%), who very wisely left the running of the operation to experienced airline people. |
