Yoga—Modest Promises with Mighty Results

For some, yoga is Indian fitness; for others, it’s an adventuresome journey to oneself. Regardless of how you look at it, yoga is a gift to yourself. The Indian practice, steeped in tradition, helps us overcome challenges in an increasingly complex world, master and enjoy life.

Maintain the sensitive balance

The desire for relationships and closeness, and the quest for joy, are the engines that drive us all. When practicing yoga, we train not only our bodies but also our system of emotions, energy, spirit, and essence. One of the main effects and goals of this practice is to continuously restore and maintain the sensitive balance within us.

We encounter many obstacles, some unpleasantness, wonderful surprises, great challenges, and fascinating moments on the way to our inner selves. Practicing this Indian gift means having the courage to direct our gaze inward. You will recognize yourself, and, above all, you will feel. Practice is a life-long romance with ourselves, including moments of darkness and of light.

Whatever we experience in the microcosmos of the yoga mat is mirrored in the macrocosmos. The way we think, feel, and breathe in an asana (body pose) is how we tick along out there in life, on the big mat—the earth.
