Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot.   Seek the path that demands your whole being ~ Rumi

Yoga is a practice that orientates us to our full potential.   Through a process of inquiry and observation we can trace our way back to wholeness.   We are provided with the technology to land us entirely and completely in the present moment.   This gift illuminates our true nature, that which is essentially peaceful, joyful and free.   We could consider the process similar to a sculptor who chisels away at a stone and in time, with patience comes to reveal a masterpiece.   The beauty was already contained within, nothing was added, simply hidden.   Through careful exploration and excavation the barriers were removed and the inherent magic was uncovered.

As we embark on this journey we are provided with the tools to systematically deepen our awareness to what is actually already there.   Thus we can come to discover not the means for self-improvement but actually the ability to bring forth innately noble qualities that we all possess already.   Moving closer to the truth simply requires us to carefully de-construct all the constraints we have erected that hinder our experience of a direct and authentic connection with ourselves and the world.

Yoga is a science that provides practical guidelines to test and prod at our barriers and experience for ourselves a returning to oneness, wholeness, union.   In a modern world that urges us to strive and chase after things we must learn this important distinction.   We cannot strive to become something we already are, but in fact a letting go is required.   Returning our attention and our awareness time and again back to the body, the breath and the moment allows for transformation.   Each time we return to this moment we engage in the work of removing what binds us, scraping away at our perceptions and self-limiting concepts and uncovering the miracle of who we are.   As we let go of our efforts to ‘get somewhere’ or ‘be someone else’ we might just learn to be exactly where we are, right now.
