Yoga is Rest

Sundays are for rest and yoga is for rest. That's why we're really jiving with this post by yoga instructor @divyabala today. She says it best, so let's hear her out:⁠ ⁠ "When you think of yoga in 2024, you may think of intense hot yoga in a room filled with 60 sweaty bodies, or maybe a soulful vinyasa class set to the tune of tear-jerking ballads.⁠ ⁠ Please understand you do not have to do any of that to experience yoga.⁠ ⁠ Yoga is a union of the higher and lower self, of the universal and individual spirit.⁠ ⁠ Here’s why modern classes often work against that.⁠ ⁠ The recipe for most fitness classes is to inundate the practitioner with enough stimuli that they can ignore the pain/discomfort and complete the class.⁠ ⁠ With Yoga (asana) being folded into the ‘fitness’ world, this means we’re almost never letting the dust settle in our practice.⁠ ⁠ How can anything unify if it’s constantly disrupted?⁠ ⁠ This is why rest is yoga. Doing less, or even better yet, doing nothing - is yoga."⁠ ⁠ Yoga is rest. Share this with someone who could also use the reminder.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ Divya is practicing on our PRO™ Yoga Mat in Black (link in bio).⁠ ⁠ #yoga #rest #selfcare #yin #yinyoga #restorativeyoga #yoganidra #nidra #yogapractice #yogainstructor #manduka #mandukayoga #practiceon #yogaforall #yogaforeveryone #mindfulness #toyoke #yogaunity #destress #yogaforbettersleep
