What Is Yoga for Body, Mind, and Spirit?

YOGA IS AN INVITATION TO EXPLORE,
NOT A COMMAND PERFORMANCE.

IT SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL.

IN THE FLOW OF BREATH AND MOTION, YOGA COAXES US FROM THE CONFINES OF THE KNOWN,

ACROSS THE SILENT THRESHOLD INTO VASTNESS.

BREATHE, RELAX AND
FEEL THE BODY RECEIVE ITS OWN TRUTH. 

Danna Faulds, poet and yoga teacher
