What is yoga? People have asked me what is yoga. Is it an exercise class, or like Pilates? Don’t you sit there and zone out, Is it a cult or religion? Are yoga practitioners all vegetarians?

What is yoga? When asked that question I have never felt I could answer properly or in a way not to short such a limitless subject. I have been holding that question inside me for seven years as yoga continued to run through me like dye through water. Now when I am asked I answer.

I believe that yoga can be something different for everybody, with an end result the same for everyone, “All things good”. We are living things, and within us are millions of cells which require nourishment. Yoga brings balance and growth on every level. That balance reaches the entire self. Consciously we correct our diet and gain respect for our bodies. Continued practice of the postures, relaxation and breathing develop a perfect balance within ourselves. One can physically control one's own body weight in any posture. Yoga will cultivate everything that is good. Practice brings about complete balance. Yoga can complete you so that you can help to complete others. Like a tree and earth, the earth receives the seed, the tree grows and returns other seeds to the earth.

Yoga is everything good, reaching everything we know and compounding positive growth -- a complete practice on every level.
