The word yoga translates to union
Yoga is the union of the mind to the body. It invites us to explore our limitations and strengths. A yoga practice changes more than the physical self. It changes our self awareness. We become more aware of our body as we seek to achieve control of our muscle actions.
It is my belief that yoga serves us best when we use it to optimize our body’s performance. Slight differences in joint structures and development of bone lengths produces variations of ability. Our bodies are unique in their development and history. We should strive to do our personal best without comparison to another’s ability.
