Sadhana Pada is the book focused on practice.  And we've been practicing.  As we travel through the second book of the Yoga Sutra we soon learn that the piece we're mostly drawn to; the asana, are nothing without the breath.  Patanjali tells "once you have perfected the pose, then practice the breath."  I don't know about you, but I'm far from perfect as far as my asana practice goes.  
Svadhyaya is about the Self.  As we practice asana, we learn about the areas in which we hold back, the places where we push too hard and when we have and lack flexibility.  These are all reflections of how we live our lives.  Our breath and the ability to move our breath, can help us to release, engage and move not only our bodies but our selves.  
As you practice your asana and get closer to your own perfection, don't forget to breathe.  Each breath creates space, openness and connection.  Use your breath to discover your Self.

"You don't get what you don't ask for."
"Ask and ye shall receive."
"You can't always get what you want."
We've heard these sayings a million times but, how often do we consider theme when it comes to Yoga?  More often than not I find myself either accepting everything my teacher has to share or acting as the skeptic and analyzing every word.  Why not just ask?  Ask for the poses that you want to work on, the philosophies you would like to know more about, the topics that you are curious about.
Yoga has become a world-wide commercialized activity.  People are making millions selling Yoga.  Do they really know what they are selling?  Do you really know what you are buying?  Why not take this month to search your self for knowledge and to dig it out of your teacher?  Believe me, I don't have all of the answers.  Together, however, we may be able to shed some light into the darkness of our knowledge of Yoga.
Don't ever be afraid to ask your teacher when a question arises during your practice.  It's the best way to evaluate if you really are getting "half of what you want and half of what you need" (Amy Pearce-Hayden, E-RYT, The Yoga Scape, NY).
