Yoga is not a workout. It is a homecoming. And the only thing you need to begin is the willingness to be still, to breathe, and to listen.

Consider the simplest posture: Tadasana , or Mountain Pose. It is merely standing still. Yet, try it with intention. Feel the four corners of your feet rooted to the earth. Feel the crown of your head drawn toward the sky. Breathe. In that moment, you are not doing yoga; you are being it. You are aligning your physical form with an inner geometry of calm. That is the alchemy. Yoga is not a workout

So, the next time you roll out a mat, do so with a new intention. Forget the “perfect” pose. Forget what the person next to you is doing.

Strengthen not just your core, but your ability to be present. Consider the simplest posture: Tadasana , or Mountain Pose
