Image
Yoga means we accept responsibility for the tasks in our life, and we know that being a king, being an enlightened teacher, being someone who sweeps the streets, we know that nothing is a greater yoga than anything else.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Yoga means we go a step further back. In yoga we go to the cause. The cause of pain is not the world. The cause of pain is us.
