Yoga, it is not ‘relaxing’ although, there is Savasana which is often called relaxation, that is the time when you absorb the practice.
Yoga, at its core, is not an escape from reality. It is a practice of “vidyā”—clear perception. It invites us to see what is actually happening: in our bodies, in our nervous system, in our relationships, and in the world around us. It asks us to notice where harm exists, how it is internalized, and how disconnection alters our perception.
Through sustained practice, we strengthen our ability to stay present with what is difficult without collapsing or hardening. We learn to recognize our own stress responses and expand our ability to make informed decisions. We build internal and collective resources so we can respond rather than react. When this practice is brought to individuals who have experienced trauma, healing happens. We begin to see ourselves clearly again and chain reactions happen from that place.
