Jim,

do you work on postures only, or do you also practice breathing and meditation as well?

Francois, with my students I do mostly asana (postures) because they do not seem to understand or want to learn anything else. I live in a very church orientated small town. In my own pratice I am very into the breathing and body awarenes. I use a light unguided meditation to end my classes, this seems to satisfy my students, I know some of them pray during this time. I have a evening class of mostly people in their mid 40's and they like what I do also. They seem more enlightened, but when I try to include more meditation and talks about being more aware of what they are expierencing, I get complaints that the "workout" isn't as good. Everyone tells me how much they feel they have benefited from my class and how much they like it that I kinda don't want tofix what isn't broke.
