What IS Yoga?
Yoga is a mirror that all of us need in order to take a good, long look at ourselves — not just as individuals but as a society and a community. Unfortunately, the yoga practice is intimidating. It can seem impossible when you see yogis bending backward with ease, but the practice is more than just the asanas. The asanas can be modified for beginners, yogis with injuries, and older yoga students so that everyone can get closer to the heart of the practice.
You can take what you learn on the yoga mat into the real world. Remember, how you face problems on the mat is a mirror for how you face problems in your life, and it’s important to give yourself space to react and listen. Practicing yoga can help teach you how to be a better listener, not only to yourself but to those struggling to be heard around you.
