Just now I read my twitter friends feed, and read someone commented
how great an exercise yoga class was.
 
Seeing yoga as an exercise is just like saying mcDonalds is gourmet food.
 
Yoga is first and foremost a spiritual journey. It helps you open up
your body for spiritual growth. For the body it is about relaxation,
mostly, and for the mind it is about calming just so that your soul
can shine through more and more in your day to day life.
 
For me doing yoga is all about my soul's purpose with this life, and
the more I free up my body, the more I feel home in myself.
 
Just seeing yoga as an exercise limits your ability to grow through
your asana's, to fully open up to all that life has to offer you, and
all the exuberant power residing in your soul.
