## Description

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.⁠
