“You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again.
So why bother in the first place?
Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above.
One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen.
There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.”

Yoga’s Potential to Transform Our Lives
Yoga’s potential to transform our lives comes from committing to a lifelong, consistent practice that goes deeper than just the physical elements. Of course, every time we step onto our mat’s we learn more about the technical requirements of the asanas. But we must also delve into the subtleties of the other elements that make up a full, well rounded yoga practice.
When we apply a healthy dose of nonattachment, dedication, perseverance, and patience we make our yoga practice a lifelong journey. Where we learn more and more about ourselves along the path and discover, how we are who we are through the transformative power of yoga.
The transformative elements of a solid yoga practice are something you must experience to understand the power it can wield on your life. The language of yoga takes time and patience to sink in as we feel the benefits gradually spreading throughout our lives.
The more we practice, the deeper our understanding of how we find balance between effort and ease, play our edge or find energetic actions that serve us and others. As well as, how we use our bandhas, drishtis and apply breathing techniques. Every time we step on our mats we renew our opportunity to understand the subtleties and complexities of our practice. Which slowly reveals the soul within the human shell.
Yoga’s potential to transform our lives develops when the various elements of yoga unite to create harmony in your unique and beautiful experience.
