Feel It Out For Yourself With An Open Mind

Regardless of one’s intention, I think that Yoga can be a powerful tool to teach an individual to slow down from a busy lifestyle and develop greater self awareness. The benefits of this one component alone, is enough to create healthy changes and a way for more ease to penetrate into one’s life and potentially lead one along a spiritual path.  

As I mentioned above, I feel that the cons of a Yoga practice are approaches that limit Yoga to a physical exercise without the cultivation of something much greater. Remember, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The deepened connection to self that can be achieved through a Yoga practice doesn’t have to look or feel a certain way. Feel it out for yourself with an open mind; one that isn’t attached to outcomes such as body image or the way our culture dictates it has to look like.
