At the top of the list for me is finding "home" in my body. From a very early age, we are bombarded with messages that tells of to loath and hate our bodies and this is equally true for men as it is for women.
Yoga invites us to awaken to what it means to be alive and in a body, which is the last place many of us want to be. We live externally focused, Yoga embrace the fact that transformation is an inside job.
Yoga offers the challenge of connecting body with spirit and connecting body with heart. It allows us to journey towards acceptance, grace and love - finding home in our bodies. Our yoga mat's are our own private labortory to explore what it truly means to be alive, and have breath in a body. Yoga extends to us the invitation come home.
Home is where the heart is.
