Yoga is a powerful practice that unites and harmonizes the relationship of the mind, body and soul. Yoga is a gift to experience, it allows for self-reflection and it is a kind of soul quest. It demonstrates to us in a subtle, gentle mode that the heart is propelled by an invisible energetic force which permeates everything and everyone. Yoga is not about simply stretching, being flexible, a religion or some kind of esoteric new age mysticism. It is a daily practice or preparation, a systematic set of tools and conscious continuous effort to attain internal peace and elevates the emotional states of a person and transcends limitations. Yoga is a system of preparation which helps us attain Moksha or liberation to the inevitable suffering and pain of the human experience. Many people suffer from anxiety, stress and an overactive mind. Yoga helps slow down the mind and promotes inner stillness which helps us connect to our inner selves...our true self and our natural state of inner peace, happiness and love. It allows one to connect to Atma, which means our soul in Sanskrit. The Journey...
