    YOGA : ART OF OPPOSITES For the past decade, I literally tie myself into knots over the idea of eventually attaining enlightenment. Before sunrise, I stand barefooted, clothed sparingly on top of a rubber thin mat placed directly onto the floor. I stretch my breath, make it victorious by controlling the value and length of each inhale and exhale I breathe loudly and with determination I squeeze myself into a knot-like assemblage of the body. The goal is to stay in these different types of knots effortlessly, assuming a comfortable stance. It is a path that I trudge upon every morning, as do other ashtanga yoga practitioners worldwide. I honour the deep poetic side of my being and transform my body into a t e m p l e for s e l f - m a s t e r y. This temple has three esoteric knots, known as granthis, mentioned in Indian philosophical yogic treatises. These psychosomatic knots, once acknowledged, may elevate one to a state of enlightenment. The art of yogic practice, is for me, a symbolic study of the dialectics of knots. I train to do and undo; to like what I dislike; to see what is hidden; to be detached from the things I love; to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. In essence, yoga proves to me that anything is possible that delving into the nature of a knot can teach me how to transcend the dualistic nature of life. These yoga books are my allegory of the spiritual journey of modern times. Yoga is a catalyst for expanding human potential by inviting the natural expression of all living beings to access wholeness, acknowledging that every soul is potentially divine and its divinity is manifested through creative expression. May it inspire us to cultivate optimum health and maintain peace of mind to find resolution to opposites. Basia J. Lipska
