1.41 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I sat and wiped my mind clean
and saw time stand still waiting for me.

You are and have always been free.
Yoga is neither a serious activity, nor a difficult one. You do not have to stand on your head to make sense of the world inside, or outside, you. You do not have to stretch your muscles into oblivion to make sure you never break. You do not have to hold your breath until you pass out. You do not have to concentrate until your head seems ready to burst.
Yoga is an easy and joyful way of finding a lasting connection with your body, breath, energy, and consciousness. It is about listening to your body. It is about being aware of your breath. It is about figuring out your own mind. It is about stretching your ideas about yourself. It is about finding balance between your resources, desires and energy. It is about expanding your consciousness. It is about realizing the bliss that is your birthright. There is no reason you cannot practice Yoga.
