The Essence of Yoga!

The Essence of Yoga:  it’s all about being aware / awake and being mindful of your actions...

The journey of yoga is one that is always an introduction;
 There is no end to yoga; it is a constant process of discovering yourself, and energizing your mind - body to give it optimal health.

Yoga is just NOT calisthenics (marked by the headstand, the lotus posture or some pretzel-like pose). While it is true that yoga involves many postures – especially in hatha yoga – these are only intended to make people get in touch with their inner feelings.

Yoga is NOT a system of meditation – or a religion – the way many people are misled to believe. Meditation is only part of the whole process of bringing ourselves into the realm of the 

spiritual.
