Have you ever thought about what the word yoga means? I have learned it means/represents union.

So what does that mean to me? How have I learned to understand what that means to me?

I believe it to be the unity or coming together of the mind, body and heart/soul/spirit self as well as the union or connection to others and all living livings. Breathing exercises, stories, sound and body shape movements are tools to help us feel calm, self-regulated, free, loved, happy and connected to self.

Yoga and mindfulness can be shared, taught and experienced in many different ways. We can all interrupt it a little bit differently and that is OK, in fact it's wonderful!

We all have our own lenses in how we perceive, view and understand the world. That's what makes us all amazingly unique. Maybe next time you learn or try something new, ask yourself, how did this make me feel and what does this knowledge mean to me?

So, what does yoga mean to YOU?
