My past has given me the strength and wisdom I have today. 💕 I started yoga to have that peace of mind. I never expected anything in return but then everything fell into place. Yoga has helped me grow, kept me grounded, lifted my spirit and brightened up my life. This tough girl right here is one of the yoga's greatest gift for me. So lucky that I have met her! 💕 #Repost @alex_manosa ・・・"For those of us who have been practicing, we continue to do so because we slowly begin to realize the changes that happen from within. Yoga is not a fitness routine. Its a lifestyle, a life practice that continues long after our physical practice. It is said by our teachers that the asana or postures are simply the vessel for a deeper spiritual awakening. I don't know about you but it has given me the strength and space I never realized I had. Equal footing in the face of uncertainty, love in the face of anger, peace amidst the storm. There are days when I lose it sure, but I can always come back to the breath, the movement and the inner peace it brings." . 📷 @lynardeegonzales 😘 thanks for putting up with us sis My top @pranaph . . . . #whywepractice #scorpion #adhomukhasvanasana #playafterpractice #yogabuddy #yoga #yogahealsthesoul #onebreathatatime

Why practice yoga? To live a more fulfilling life. How I relate to myself on the mat -- my reactivity, compassion, awareness, judgment, allowing, creativity, effort/surrender-- is how I am off the mat. Breath, asana, meditation, chanting, study, service...these are all ways to know ourselves, love ourselves, and extend that out into our relationships, our workplace, our community. Is it easy? Not always. Is it kind and necessary? Yes. Feeling grateful for all my teachers and yogi path travelers, from Arkansas to Indiana to New Mexico to California. Thank you for sharing your light. ✨💛✨ #yoga #proseandposes #whywepractice #practicefromtheinsideout #livethoughtfully #livebeautifully #loveyourbody #namaste
