Yoga as a form of resilience
A lot of the yoga depictions we see online represent only a fraction of what yoga as a a practice is all about (1/8th of the practice to be exact). The depictions also only represent a fraction of what majority of yogis and yoginis in the world truly look like. The rest of the practice deals with breathwork, ethics, devotion, discipline, meditation, and even non-attachment in an effort to understand and manage who we truly are. Yoga literally means union so every effort we take is our way of connection our Highest Self with the aspects of Earth as they are. While yoga may also be used a a tool to release trauma and heal, it is ultimately a spiritual practice with ascension being the ongoing goal. Help me make yoga more accessible through service, social justice, and community action toward wellness.
