When we talk in yoga of losing weight, strength or fitness goals we immediately prioritise the body over the soul.

Talk of ‘sweating out sins’, ridding yourself of guilt through practice? Centralises the body over the mind.

Narrative around practicing postures to improve, achieve or attain? It ranks the future abound the now.

Placing importance upon drills, work, functionality? Keeps the emphasis on the physical.

Yoga is more than the shapes. Your worth is not your effort. A maturation of practice actually takes us to stillness. So let’s reinforce this notion with both what we share and laud.
