Over the course of the YTT I learn’t that yoga is the union of the body, mind and soul. Yoga is also the balance of flexibility and strength. With practice the body becomes more supple but also stronger. One will never be able to achieve the most challenging of poses without being both. The mind will also open and allow far more then one imagines is possible. Most practitioners will never achieve a pose if their mind is in their way. Wether because of fear, exhaustion, pain, the mind has full control. With practice one can also train the mind to quiet and flexible. Ones Soul is what keeps us coming back to our practice, to keep us grounded, to keep us passionate about life and movement. With yoga, practitioners learn to connect more deeply to their soul. I’ve known this unconsciously for years, but I never could have explained it before. I am now beginning to understand the passion it takes to teach!
