I wanted to share this beautiful description of yoga which I keep on my fridge. I have had it on there for years and am not sure where it came from – I truly hope whoever wrote it is not offended I am including it on my website, I’m by no means trying to rip off anyone else’s incredible way with words. When reading it this morning I felt the need to get it on here as soon as I could so perhaps someone else may be inspired by it as I am daily. It reminds me why I practice, it keeps me going when I am feeling low and it is something I aspire to, something real that can be achieved through perseverance, discipline and commitment….

 “When the body is vigorous, your mind clear,Your spirit exalted, your blood pure,Your physique resistant to disease, When you have made your physical frame an instrument worthy of divine prayer…                                                     This is the beginning of Yoga.

When your service is to your creator and your fellow man, When you perform hateful tasks joyfully, When you are
humble in success and cheerful in diversity, When you are indifferent to praise or offense and when you bow down In gratitude for the difficulties and obstacles you encounter….                                                                                                                                                                             This is the progress of Yoga.

When you are master of thought and ruler of emotion, When amid all vicissitudes your calm enjoyment of inner peace is complete, When every detail of existence evokes in wonder and awe, When you feel each moment of life to be a miracle, When you merge your infinitesimal soul in the ocean of infinite silence and When you
truly love all living things as part of yourself…                                                                                                                   This is the attainment of Yoga.
