What is Yoga?
You’ve heard the explanation that the word yoga comes from the Sanskrit root word yuj – meaning to yoke or to create union. What is the practice of yoking; of creating Union? What does this look like? It looks the way you intend it to. In Anusara Yoga our intention is to create union with the greatness of ourselves. Simply put, all of our practices, from asana to Pranayama to meditation to the incorporation of the Yamas and Niyamas have one singular intention: to create union and alignment with this greatness that is ourselves. We celebrate the auspiciousness flowing through us in the form of our bodies, breath, ideas, memories, experience, hopes and dreams. This auspiciousness, this goodness is us. It is each other. It is our joys, it is our tears, our strengths and our weaknesses. It is our good days and our bad, our injuries and our healings. Our intention is to assume and embrace it all as a deep beloved offering of the one energy that unites us.
What is yoga? It is realizing you are never separate from the greatness of yourself. It is realizing that union to this greatness is worthy of celebration, collaboration and intention to align with it in every breath and in every pose. This week the practice of Anusara yoga offers us a profound vehicle to remember and celebrate the goodness in our lives, in our hearts and in the world around us.
