The Goal of Yoga

On Sunday, at the close of yoga practice I read - 'The goal of yoga'. A beautiful quote to always come back to by Rachel Brathen aka - Yoga Girl.

Often we find ourselves comparing where we are in our practice with others. Wanting and willing our bodies to move and position in the way of the people we see around us - in class, social media and YouTube videos etc.

We forget the reason we started our yoga journey in the first place, instead spending our time looking beyond our own mat and breath. We need to reflect, to appreciate where we are in the now and grow in love and focus for ourselves.
