The Practice

We must remember that yoga is a discipline. We practice yoga to cultivate a practice of consistency and to show up for ourselves in times of suffering. This is because, inevitably, we will suffer from being human. Yoga, not just the asanas (physical postures), is a complete system to overcome this obstacle. If you do just one and not the entire system, you are doing yourself an injustice. Yoga involves studying philosophy, asana, pranayama, meditation, and action. If any of these feel intimidating, you can speak to an instructor, and they will happily suggest some readings or resources to deepen your practice. The deeper you dive, the deeper your practice will benefit you and your entire environment and community.
