What IS yoga?
It is an ancient, beautiful, and complex practice, rooted in Indian philosophy. That’s a clear definition, right? The truth is there's no one-size-fits-all definition of yoga. It isn’t simply one thing. It's as diverse as each one of us, and that's the incredible power it holds. It can be gentle or dynamic, quick or extensive, relaxing or challenging—tailored to your own journey and needs. The lists of benefits are long, and we’ll dive deeper into a number of them throughout the month, but spoiler alert: they extend way past just the physical, which is often the one that gets the most media visibility.
Here's another myth buster: Yoga isn't only a solitary practice—it's a bridge between the personal and the communal. It's a space where you can dive into your inner self, yet also connect with a supportive community around you.
And you want to know the real beauty of this practice? Anyone can give yoga a try. You don’t need to be super flexible or experienced. You don’t have to be a certain age or at a certain fitness level. You don’t have to be anything other than what you are. Are you ready to give yoga a try?
