yoga reflections
why yoga?
what is yoga, and why practice it?
what’s the point of it all anyway, what’s the point of sitting in meditation, practicing sun salutations, finding steadiness is mountain pose, finding balance in warrior postures, intricate twists, bending our back backwards? bringing our leg behind our shoulders, balancing on your heads?
ahimsa: allowing space for compassion
first time I heard the mantra “lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu”, I didn’t quite grasp the Sanskrit, it’s English translation however..
“May all beings be happy and free from suffering, and may I contribute to this freedom and happiness for all through my thoughts, words, and actions”
these words hit home.
