Scrolling on Instagram you come across a yoga account - there’s postures, some that look like acrobatics, an explanation of the anatomy and physicality of what they’re doing. Why your femur bone has to be at just the right angle and your gaze must be just past the tip of your nose.
Cool you think, that’s yoga right?!
You scroll again, a man with his right leg hooked behind his neck, far out, that’s intense, I’d never be able to do that, yoga looks hard. Maybe it’s not for me. I can’t do yoga, because I can’t do that.
Let me challenge this idea and this notion because 1. That yoga pose you’ve seen is literally the tip of the iceberg that you can see of what yoga is, for that person and in that moment 2. Yoga isn’t JUST a pose. In fact that’s not what the word yoga is at all and 3. We all know that in this day and world you are more likely look look at a posture picture than you are a smiling portrait of a face that gives you no real clue as to what’s beneath the surface (or in the caption).
So you want to know what yoga is?
Pop on your earphones and have a listen to my late night 5 minute voice note on what yoga is.
Enjoy,
