Being and Becoming

Some teachers will tell you that yoga is not a path toward a goal, but that it is simply about being present to what is. 
 
I partially agree with this. Certainly, yoga is a way of being with ourselves, a practice of inner attention, a way of seeing and responding to ‘what is’ with a stance of compassion and unconditional self-acceptance. But it’s not only that. 
 
Yoga is also a process of becoming. It is a path we travel. Yoga sets us on a clear trajectory of inner evolution that leads to greater freedom, deeper purpose, and expanded consciousness in every part of our lives.

Yoga has always had a goal. And that goal is awakening to the fullness of your inner being and, from that experience, becoming a more benevolent human being.
