Meditation

Sara Albuquerque Garcia

I perfectly remember the first time a gentleman asked me why I practiced yoga if I didn't have any problems! I was so astonished by the question! Yoga is a philosophy; I practice it as an art, as a way of being in life, as conduct, like someone would choose ballet or painting as forms of expression, and not to lose weight or gain muscle or cure sadness, or whatever. I was always taught this way, and although we all ended up in this practice due to a life alignment, I think most of my students like themselves and the life they have, but are not content with a life poor in spirit or without depth. So if that was a question you had – come – there's a healthy and joyful community on this side, with its ups and downs like all of us!
