Jordon’s Reviews > Every Body Yoga: Let Go of Fear. Get On the Mat. Love Your Body > Status Update

“Any yoga that ‘eliminates,’ ‘avoids,’ or ‘ignores’ yoga spiritual side is not actually yoga: it’s a fitness routine in yoga clothing. Ultimately, the combined purpose of breath work, asana practice, and meditation is to life is up from out mental preoccupations us allow us to connect with our spirit or inner soul.

“I don’t think the shitty parts of life are over for me just because I’ve cultivated a vigorous yoga practice. On the contrary, I think shitty things will continue to happen. But that’s life. The fuckery never ends. Any attempts to control or anticipate the crests and valleys will only yield dissatisfaction and disappointment.”

“Ultimately yoga has made me realize that happiness doesn’t come when we magically become better people. The practice is a reminder that we deserve to be happy today, in this exact moment, because we are already absolutely perfect.”
