“Yoga poses provide much more than a physical workout. Performing them builds character. Facing your fears and challenges that extend beyond your comfort zone with a sense of peace, calmness, and psychological equanimity will help you overcome your self-perceived limitations. I find it helpful to think of every yoga pose as a prayer you do with your body. While you perform the pose, focus on what is good in your life with a feeling of gratitude. Being at one with your mind and body in this place of grace helps you transcend the ego, which helps you get closer to the ultimate goal of yoga, which is enlightenment.”
