- Yoga Sutra 2.54 Translation by TKV Desikachar

Are your rituals honoring your body’s innate wisdom? Or are your habits overriding the body’s calls for rest?

As a citizen of this world and member of society, it is highly likely that you have felt wronged by someone before. We humans are imperfect at best and at our worst can be selfish, cruel and act in blatant disregard of others. Of course, these wrongs run the gamut in both duration and gravity.

For example, it allows people all over the world to be connected in ways that would otherwise be impossible, and for that I am very grateful. Many things would not be possible for us without technological support. But have we not perhaps lost the big picture out of our sight?

This move defies the age, gender, social, and financial barriers of most exercises we know. It is a very accepting and inclusive type of movement; you need no equipment, fancy instructions or special skills to do it.
