Today’s wellness industry, and social media in particular, focuses primarily on physical wellness.

Physical wellness is important! But it is by no means the be all and end all of wellness. There are so many other subtle layers of our being that we can learn to nurture if we desire to live holistically fulfilling lives.

What Yoga offers, through each of its paths, is liberation from suffering, for ourselves, our communities, and the world as a whole.

By consulting the traditional sources of Yoga we come to realize that the physical postures are meant to help us limit restlessness so that we can unite with the still, calm, place, within - the infinite. 

I stopped in my tracks. How does one live yoga? I had heard teachers talk about taking our practice “off the mat,” but I hadn’t yet grasped what that really meant. In that moment I knew I needed to learn more.
