The practice of yoga is unique. It connects us, and brings us together.<\/span><\/p>\n

People practice around the world<\/a> \u2013 in all different shapes, colors and sizes.<\/p>\n

Yoga is open and accepting to all walks of life, one of the many reasons it is so appealing.<\/p>\n

But practicing yoga means something different to everyone.<\/p>\n

There is no right or wrong way to practice. For some of us, yoga is a lifestyle. We practice every day, almost religiously.<\/p>\n

For others of us, we simply enjoy the physical activity of a power yoga class or the relaxation of a restorative class.<\/p>\n

So what is the connecting factor?<\/p>\n

Ultimately, yoga is all about learning about ourselves.<\/p>\n

Renowned yoga teacher Rolf Gates likes to say that “yoga is not a work out, it is a work-in<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our yoga practice \u2013 at whatever level \u2013 starts us on the journey to self-exploration and self-acceptance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean that everyone has to enjoy yoga. Plenty of people out there just don\u2019t care for it. The unique characteristic of yoga is that everyone\u2019s version of his\/her practice is different. Yoga has distinct meanings to each person.<\/p>\n

So how do you know what it means to you? Just grab your mat and show up with an open heart, open mind, and a sense of humor (so you can learn to laugh<\/a> at yourself\u2026because sometimes those poses are just funny!)<\/p>\n

And for a little inspirations, watch this great video<\/a>\u00a0on how one man used yoga to transform his unhealthy life in an amazing way.<\/p>\n

Namaste<\/i>.<\/p>\n
