The true Essence of Yoga

Do yoga in order to know what to do when you’re not doing yoga.
-Rod Stryker

It’s easy to “really get into yoga.”
It’s easy to let it take over your life, to eat, breathe and sleep yoga. And then decide you want to be a yoga teacher, and then you even dream about yoga. Yes, it’s easy to love.
It’s also easy, therefore, to get a little carried away… even by something as awesome as yoga.

All things in moderation, balance is key. So what about all the time in your life when you’re not doing yoga? Guess what – you can still do yoga.

Our physical yoga practice prepares us for the rest of our lives. Sure, when we practice we connect movement with breath, we reconnect with our higher selves, so that we may be fully present off the mat as well as on. But yoga also helps us make new connections, both physically and mentally, and those new connections create new opportunities.

Our yoga practice can help us become clear about who we are, what we want, and how we want to move through the world. That is the true essence of the practice.

I hear a lot of talk about proper nourishment nowadays. While I do agree that they are right, I must say that we still should focus more on nourishing our hearts and souls before anything else. Like each time I say "I am very depressed as of the moment because I have nothing to eat.", the universe has a way of addressing what needed to be fixed first and miraculously, it started nourishing my mind before anything else. Today I realized eating lesser each day is actually good for my health because I have been eating so much all these years it has become unhealthy and I developed this wrong notion that the life I am living in is not abundant. The truth is we are actually given just what we need as of the moment.
