NOW the Practice of Yoga Begins
In our fast paced world, we often find ourselves rushing through life, missing the moments that truly matter. Yoga offers us a pathway to slow down and embrace the present. The ancient wisdom encapsulated in the first Yoga Sutra, “Atha yogânuåâsanam” - which translates to "Now begins the study of yoga" - reminds us that each moment is a new beginning. This sutra invites us to wake up to the present moment and embark on a continuous journey of self discovery and transformation.
Understanding "Atha yogânuåâsanam"
The essence of this sutra is a call to action - an invitation to start the practice of yoga right now. It emphasizes that yoga is not just a physical activity but a holistic practice that influences every aspect of our lives. By focusing on the present, we can use yoga as a tool for personal growth and mindfulness.
