The real “prize” in yoga

Exercise yoga is the buzz these days.

A stronger more flexible body certainly contributes to a happier life.

But yoga is so much more!

At its heart is a journey to align with that which uplifts you and those around you.

It is a path consisting of a wealth of practices–poses/asanas, breath work/pranayama, meditation, chanting…–all of which can do their part to align us.

Though possibly a pleasant by-product of our practice, the real prize in yoga is so much more than good abs or being able to do a headstand.

Just like everyone, I need to remind myself to keep my eyes, and heart, on the prize!
