Every moment of our lives we are all involved in action – sleeping, eating, walking, working, thinking, dreaming – no one can escape action even for a moment. Escape from action means death! Our life is a “sum total of all actions”.
Yoga is a Journey of the Self, Through to the Self
~The Bhagvad Gita
Yoga is the practice of constantly refining our actions. The tools of Yoga bring the body, mind and soul in perfect harmony with the environment. This perfect union reflects the greatest potential in every individual which leads to perfection in every moment and in every action.
The mastery of Yoga must not be measured by the ability to master the techniques like asana and pranayama, but by how it influences our day to day living, how it enhances our relationships and how it promotes clarity and peace of mind.
~T K V Desikachar
