After my first year of home astanga practice (I have learned by books and videos), I have start to wonder how I can do every day two totally opposite things
like smoking one packet of cigarettes and doing astanga. Because I have been smoking from 20 years (now I'm 38), it is very very difficult for me even to
think to give up. I have the hope that doing ashtanga would talk to my body and tell him it's not more possible smoking again.
Have anyone some experience of astanga fighting smoking habit?
Thanks you all

). It's a spiritual journey. If my memory is correct in the book An Autobiography of a Yogi, there was this guru who was once approached by
a man who told him:"how can you be attached to smoking?", the guru replied "how can you be attached to non-smoking?". The point I try to
make is that practice hopefully helps us do the things we like to do not out of attachment or craving but more for pleasure. Smoke one when you really feel
like having one as opposed to when you think you need one. I hope this is of any help.
