You're not alone. After all, you're surrounded by blankets. Bolsters cradle your body. The lights are dim. There are no handstands. No sweaty vinyasas. No impressive arm balances.

But Don't Actually Teach You Yoga]]></title><description><![CDATA[Walk into almost any yoga class today and you'll likely leave feeling better than when you arrived. Your muscles are looser.

But here's a question worth asking: Did you simply move your body... or did you practice yoga? They're not always the same thing.

It is something that chooses you.   It begins as a whisper.   A quiet knowing that there is something more waiting for you.   You try to ignore it.   You tell yourself the timing isn't right.   That you're not ready.   That someone else is more qualified, more confident, more capable.   Yet the whisper remains.   Because a calling does not disappear. It patiently waits for you to answer.

It is difficult to put into words, yet I know it every time I experience it. Some days it feels like joy. Other days it feels like peace. Sometimes it feels like strength. Sometimes it feels like surrender. But every single time, it feels like freedom. Freedom in my body. Freedom in my breath. Freedom in my mind. Freedom to simply be.
