Yoga is an emergent quality of kinesthesia and brain states. These brain states or cognitive sets correspond to present experience; what is happening right now, entangled with expectations of what will happen next, remembering what happened just before now, for intervals between blinks, for the time it takes to hum the first two bars of Happy Birthday to You. That is the specious present. The ensemble of all specious present interval can be called specious moments.
A series of these brain states stretch from the start of an hour of yoga to the end on the session. Within each interval, a tangled heirarchy of brains states support the meta-state of Nirvana.
My life - the life I have lived, the life I live now, and the future collections of specious moments - that life is a very fuzzy thing. Memories are an artifact of individual neurons [cit. Kandel]
