It's my belief that everyone should do yoga. Or, at least, that everyone should have an outlet in their life that provides them with the same kind of benefits.
Here is why I love yoga.
So much of our life is spent competing. We compete with other students for spots in schools and programs. We compete with other people for jobs and internships. We compete with schoolwork for grades. We compete with ourselves essentially all day, every day, to grow and become better. There are a million examples. And not all of that is all bad. But it is EXHAUSTING on every level—physically, emotionally, mentally, you name it.
But not in yoga.
In yoga, you give yourself a chance to strip away all competition, all expectations, all negativity. You live in the moment, focused only on the pose and on your breath, with no worry about how you are doing compared to yesterday or to your neighbor .
You just exist.
And to exist is a beautiful thing.
