If there are three things we could want for ourselves, let it be Serenity of Mind, Clarity of Words and Keeping the Body Clean and Healthy.

The practise of yoga is entered into by developing personal and social norms, followed by the repetition of asana practise until stability, strength and flexibility, poise in daily posture is developed.  Soon the voice becomes soft, as the glandular system becomes balanced and with this a level of self-restraint and a general state of dispassion for what was previously so important to the ego.

Yoga is a tool towards wholeness.  A way to collect ourselves.  It forms a backdrop, a once-melody, to which we can dance a thousandfold dances, in expressing and the search of knowing oneself on deeper levels.  It is in these deeper levels of understanding of self that we develop true self-compassion and true self-love.  This enable us to give to others from a deeper place without any expectations or attachments.

There certainly is many forms or ways to come closer to oneself.  Yoga is free from religion or dogma and renders tools towards all levels of personal well-being, the structure of a healthy society and towards harmony and peace.  It is the ancient documentation of how to make life, every breath, every motion an expression of art – conscious and liberated at the same time.

yogena cittasya pdena vacam

malam sarirasya ca vaidyakena

yo’pakarot tam pravaram muninam

patanjalim pranjalir anato’smi

abahu purusakaram sankha-crakra-asi-dharinam

sahasra-sirasam svetam pranamami patanjalim
