"In rehearsals in Grotowski's company and in Pillory Theatre the actors used Yoga asana, often somewhat modified. In my experience with Yoga, I find it to be a physical path to the internal spiritual world and an 'inner knowing'. If you look into the eight fold path of Yoga (of which asana, the physical poses, are #3 of 8) and compare it to Grotowski's statement of principles you will find similarities."

Yoga

Grotowski: "When I was young I asked myself what would be a possible job that would enable me to look for the other one and myself, to look for a dimension of life that would be rooted in what is normal, organic, even sensual, but that would go beyond all this, that would have a sort of axis, another higher dimension that would surpass us. At that time, I wanted to study either Hinduism, to work on the different techniques of yoga, or medicine, to become a psychiatrist, or dramatic art to become a director."

Questions & Homework

Grotovsky & Yoga: "A contemporary [to B. Brecht] Polish director, Jerzy Grotowski, made the most thorough effort to rediscover the elements of the actor's art. Although he credited Stanislavsky with having posed the most important questions, he was not satisfied either with Stanislavsky, who let natural impulses dominate, or with Brecht, who was too much concerned, Grotowski felt, with the construction of the role. To Grotowski, the actor is a man who works in public with his body, offering it publicly. The work with the actor's instrument consists of physical, plastic, and vocal training to guide him toward the right kind of concentration, to commit himself totally, and to achieve a state of "trance." The actors concentrate on the search for "signs," which express through sound and movement those impulses that waiver on the borderline between dream and reality. By means of such signs, the actor's own psychoanalytical language of sounds and gestures is constructed, in the same way as a great poet creates his own language."

Get Site Info Yoga was birthed out of an oral tradition where teaching was transmitted directly from teacher to student. The Indian sage Patanjali is credited with the summation of this oral tradition into his classical work, the Yoga Sutra, a 2,000-year-old treatise on yogic philosophy. Containing a collection of 195 sutra (or statements), the Yoga Sutra provides a kind of philosophical guidebook for dealing with the challenges of being human.
The discipline of hatha yoga—the physical aspect of yoga—was originally developed as a vehicle for meditation. This system of hatha yoga prepared the body, particularly the nervous system, for stillness, creating the necessary physical strength and stamina that allowed the mind to remain calm during meditation.

Yoga Philosophy: Though virtually nothing is known about the life of the Indian sage/philosopher Patanjali, the text attributed to him, the Yoga Sutra is the most significant work on the philosophy of yoga. The date the text was composed is also unknown, though it is believed to have been written sometime between 200 BC and 300 AD. The Sanskrit word sutra means thread or aphorism thus the title of the text is sometimes translated as the Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali.

ShowCases: shows.vtheatre.net "Yoga and Buddhism are sister traditions which evolved in the same spiritual culture of ancient India. They use many of the same terms and follow many of the same principles and practices." (David Frawley) For this reason we have included several important Buddhist texts: The Dhamapada, The Milindapanha, The Diamond Sutra, The Heart Sutra, and D.T. Suzuki's rendering of the Oxherding Pictures.
