Yoga Has No End

DHARMA TALK - MAY 28, 2017 I HEART YOGA

Have you ever looked at a picture of a yoga pose and you instantly tell yourself - that's my goal? You practice day in and day out to achieve the same exact posture until one day, it just happens.  Then you ask yourself, what's next?  Where do I go from here?  You realize, there are so many other things you can do with that pose - adjustments, transitions, modifications ... You just keep exploring until you totally forget about that picture you saw.  How that was just the beginning of discovering your potential as a yogi.

I believe that yoga is a journey, not a destination.  It is a path that allows you to discover how to expand your body in many ways.  We do not stop when we reach the goal, we keep going.  The moment we become comfortable in a pose, is the moment we awaken our body to other possibilities.

Yoga has NO END.  You will never be perfect in yoga.  There is no end and there is always room for continuous  improvement and progress.  With this in mind, always approach the impossible with hope and maybe one day, when you least expect it, what you were tirelessly looking for will meet you wherever you are.  There is so much hope in yoga and the possibilities are limitless and endless.
