One of the deepest teachings in A Course in Miracles is that judgment comes from the belief that we are separate from God.
When we think we are the authority — deciding who is right, wrong, better, worse — the mind becomes restless.
Yoga teaches the same thing.
In yoga philosophy, the ego (ahamkara) believes it is the doer and the controller.
But peace comes through surrender — what the Yoga Sutras call Ishvara Pranidhana.
This is why yoga practice invites us to:
🧘♀️ Release judgment
🧘♀️ Let go of control
🧘♀️ Return to our true source
On the mat we practice noticing the voice that judges:
I should be stronger. I should be more flexible.
And we gently choose again.
When we stop trying to be the authority of everything…
we remember something deeper:
✨ We were created by love.
✨ We return to peace when we surrender to it.
