“Yoga is an ancient discipline in which physical postures, breath practice, meditation, and philosophical study are tools for achieving liberation. In my interpretation, achieving liberation in yoga means learning how to be present with everything that arises, whether it is pain or pleasure, sadness or joy, failure or success. And to be present with whatever arises, I believe we must not only be aware of what is arising but we must also be able to see all things that arise as equal, with detachment.” BelieveMeanAblePainJoyI BelievePleasurePracticeStudyMeditationSadnessAchieveDisciplineEqualYogaToolsAll ThingsPhilosophicalBreathsAncientAriseLiberationInterpretationDetachmentPosture Book:Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga with Rodney Yee Source: Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga with Rodney Yee

“A little exposure to the philosophy of many Eastern spiritual traditions - including yoga - could easily lead you to conclude that if you aspire to achieve goals in the material world you cannot fulfill yourself spiritually, or vice versa.

“Yoga's ultimate intent is to achieve something far deeper and more meaningful than just a better body or less stress and tension. Its ultimate aim is to help you hear your soul's call so that you can be consistently guided to make the best decisions - the ones that serve your highest state of wellbeing.
