The Essence of Yoga

This post discusses the essence of Yoga. Information here will help you (as a beginner to Yoga) to understand what Yoga really is in its essence.

Basically, the science and philosophy behind Yoga says that you are just a small fragment of really enourmous universe that we live in. When you as a human being learn to live in a communion with the previously mentioned enormousness, you are able to achieve and live in union with that something that is much bigger than you.

There is a special term for the previously mentioned achievement or living in union: To attach yourself or tap into something bigger (universe). This tapping or attachment enables you to walk the true path of happiness.

So, whenever you are in the union with the universe or whenever you live in a communion with the universe, you are basically flowing along with the force, which enables you to discover the real truth.

And when you are able to discover the real truth, you come close to realization. But realization is only attained after your words, thoughts and deeds are based on previously discovered truth.

Perhaps the best thing to do is to conclude with the sayings of Tim Miller. He says that people go to Yoga lessons and studios to learn and benefit from Yoga, but that is not the essence. The essence begins when you actually leave the lesson or studio. In Tim's words: "it’s all about being awake and being mindful of your actions".

Until next time: Have fun and see you around.
