Yoga Reflection

To me, yoga is like art — you are creating a picture for your life. It is a way for the body, mind, and soul to be expressive, to connect to the bigger picture. You start to move effortlessly, like a paintbrush swishing back and forth over paper, but instead you are on your mat, finding rhythm in breath and movement. You are tuning in to the body, mind, and soul — listening, breathing, feeling, and creating.

You might move slowly or quickly. You might pause. You might move into different areas of the body or mind. You are quite literally opening all your energy centres in the body, like all the colours on a canvas. You can fully escape the world for that moment, yet when you return, yoga helps you see with more clarity, vitality, and openness.

And when you walk off the mat, it is like the last stroke of the paintbrush on the canvas — because you have just created an internal masterpiece.
