Yoga is an incredible vehicle for self-transformationYoga has the power to transform who we are on every level. It can take us from one possibility within ourselves to another higher possibility. Many people are using yoga in this way right now across the globe to develop themselves physically. This is a common impression of yoga. That is to develop the strength, flexibility and physical health of the body. Yes yoga can do this. But that is not what it was meant for. Yoga is a holistic development system. That means that it can improve every level of who we are, if we understand the principles of yoga and apply it in our lives. It can help us to become more emotionally intelligent and improve our mental ability. More importantly it can take us to a higher spiritual possibility. Yoga is like an airplane?
When we use yoga solely for a physical reason, just for our strength, flexibility, and a great looking body - it is like this airplane driving on the highway. Certainly the airplane can do that, it can get you from point A to B, and perhaps with extra style points as well. But we can all agree that the airplane was meant for something more. In the same way, yoga is meant for much more. Yoga is an incredibly sophisticated science that can help us to develop our potential on every level. Incredible destinations await you

This is so true, but we cannot seem to get beyond the physical realm of yoga

This article really speaks to my connection to the practice of yoga. Been practicing intermittently for some time now, working on making it a routine. What I like most though is its effect on my mental state. That lightness and calmness motivates me to want to practice more. That openness that makes me connected to a bigger reality makes me feel free. Thank you Ved, you continue to inspire me.

I've been wanting to learn the art of yoga ever since. I knew that it is going to do something great for me, that's why I need to try it as soon as possible. Now if we are going to relate yoga to an airplane, I guess that is always possible because both stuff have its similarities! Actually, yoga can be liken on so many things, we just need to open our eyes in order for us to see it! By the way, I've learned so much from you!
