Building A Better World One Yogi At A Time

Yoga has this rep of saving things bigger than itself.

But what really happens is that individual yogis - people - actually save things. Here's how it works...

We show up to yoga. It's just us and our matts.

Each of us concentrates on ourselves.

...our own breathe,
   ...our own body,
      ...our own drishti,
         ...our own mind.

We leave the practice, a little bit longer, a little bit stronger, a little bit calmer.

Then the magic happens...

People we meet are affected by us.

Our little bit of long, strong, calm, rubs off a bit on them. They feel better for it.

Then their little bit of long, strong, calm affects people they meet.

Like ripples of calmness, the effect flows outwards.

If we get enough yogis going out being long, strong, calm.

All affecting many other people.

The world slows down and relaxes.

Now that's yoga, J.
