I hardly ever take practice videos of myself anymore. I don’t have anything against them, it’s just on social media yoga looks so physical and so performative.
If you’re looking for a reason to practice yoga, I can only share my take. If you’re going to practice or study yoga in any way, don’t do it for the cute pictures or deep poses or the muscles or the flexibility or the “lifestyle” or the spiritual credit.
Practice yoga to feel better. Practice yoga to have the strength to be a good person, practice yoga to deepen your standards of conduct. Practice yoga because by creating a yoga community you create opportunities for other people!
The truth is, I could not get through my intensive studies, research, writing, and graduate classes – or my volunteer work, three jobs, and family life - without yoga or something like it. I can’t tell you exactly why I started yoga, I can only tell you it got more and more compelling as I muddled through!
