Yoga is about clearing away whatever is in us that prevents our living in the most full and whole way. With yoga, we become aware of how and where we are restricted — in body, mind, and heart — and how gradually to open and release these blockages. As these blockages are cleared, our energy is freed. We start to feel more harmonious, more at one with ourselves. Our lives begin to flow — or we begin to flow more in our lives. ~ Cybele Tomlinson

I love this quote because it's a great reminder that yoga is not something we do. We take our practice with us into everything we do. We learn things on the mat (hopefully) and we take those lessons and apply them to various situations in our lives. Applying the lessons we learn is just as important as surrendering in a pose, remembering to breath, finding our edge... There is no duality. There should be no hierarchy. Yoga is about bring things into union after all :)
I just wanted to share that wisdom with you on this very beautiful Saturday afternoon. I wish I could go out and enjoy it, but my house is a complete mess! But I do plan to set aside some time to be with mother earth. Being out in nature is the perfect way to recharge.
Also, there's a sale going on this weekend!
Have a super fantastic weekend!
Much love xoxo
