✨🧘♂️ Is yoga a philosophy or a fitness regimen? 🏋️♂️✨
In the West, we often roll out our mats for a relaxation class or a physical workout. Yoga as a remedy for stress, stiff muscles, or as a lifestyle.
But in the East—where yoga has its roots—it is much more than that. There, yoga is an ancient philosophy, a spiritual path focused on self-knowledge, inner peace, and ultimately: liberation (moksha).
The word "yoga" literally means "connection." Not just with your body, but with your breath, your mind, and something greater than yourself.
📖 In classical texts like Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, yoga revolves around ethics, meditation, breath, and awareness—the postures (asanas) are just one part of a much larger whole.
✨ Today, we can enjoy yoga in all its forms. But perhaps we should also occasionally pause to ask ourselves: What does yoga truly mean to me?
🧘♀️ A moment of peace?
🌀 A path to deeper understanding?
💪 Or perhaps both?
Let me know what yoga means to you. 👇
