The Bond Between Body and Soul

"...the bond between body and soul is indivisible. The life of one gives life to the other. Every physical act, except simply mechanical ones, has an inner source of feeling. Consequently we have both an inner and outer plane in every role, inter-laced. A common objective makes them akin to one another and strengthens their bonds." This passage from: "An Actor Prepares" by Stanislavski is consistent with yoga, the body and the soul are modified together. I would add to this link our emotional and mental lives. So supporting our minds, emotions and soul with yoga asanas is not far-fetched but very practical. I am really enjoying the parallels between the study of yoga and the study of acting that I am finding in this book.
