Waking up to purpose-Yoga as a Non-dual path

Rolling our mats out day after day to practice takes commitment. Defining our commitment defines our practice. What’s the purpose or point of all this mat unrolling? Asking ourselves why is where we should start the practice. Defining purpose creates the connection for understanding our body, breath and mind relationship. Day to day, even moment to moment our purpose may change. As our purpose becomes clearer we start losing the self and begin to understand, the true essence of yoga, non-duality.

Connecting to our practice with don duality creates connection to our world. Over time as our practices mature non-duality becomes more and more defined. We not only feel the interconnection of breath, mind, body we start to live it. At first, the practice starts with feeling the sensations of breath move with the body’s actions. Over time this awareness grows to everything around us. We start to notice our ever-present connection to trees, grass, dirt, garbage and breath. We not only see how it is all interconnected we understand.

Yoga is the present moment; it is the right now, the action that is happening at this moment in time. Yoga isn’t something we do, it is something we become. We become the yoke, the interconnectedness, and the unification of life.
