“Yoga is the journey of the self to the self through the self”
- The Bhagavad Gita
Yoga allows us the space to be quiet and attentive to ourselves, allowing our true wisdom and humanity to emerge. It also allows us a sanctuary away from the busy mental chatter, and the world of distractions and escapism that surrounds us. Yoga is a journey, a way to explore your body and your mind, a way to navigate through the physically and emotionally challenging world we live in.
By getting on our mats, breathing deeply, turning our awareness inward and letting go we begin to quieten the mind and finely tune our focus and concentration. We practice being in the moment, not running away from obstacles or difficulty, staying with discomfort, self-doubt and challenge and treating ourselves with love and compassion.
“Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat any time”
- Hermann Hesse
Yoga is about connecting to yourself, taking a moment from your life to remember that you have an inner world that needs tending to. Simply finding awareness of the body and the breath helps us to feel more complete. Just a simple dedication to taking time for yourself, to balance the body, to create calm in the mind and to find equanimity in the spirit.
As we become stronger both physically and mentally, yoga allows us to experience and embody our true nature. Yoga cultivates a commitment to breath, movement, health, happiness and prayer which will lead you home to yourself.
