Yoga is a very sensual experience. Usually, our eyes help us a great deal - letting us know where we are in space, what's up with our alignment, who's going by the window... For a deeper experience, take your eyes out of the equation. They are restless, always trying to gather information. By letting them take a back seat, you are able to gather more input from the rest of your senses.
To try this in your practice, simply tie a blindfold over your eyes (just closing them won't work as well, its too easy to peak). I don't recommend working much with balancing poses your first time, instead stay close to the floor :-) Many of the audio and video practices on this blog can safely be done blindfolded. Whatever your practice sequence, it'll be a whole new experience and help you gain new insight into your yoga and yourself!
