Yoga: Moving Meditation

We all come to yoga looking for something. It may be relief from a sore back or tight hamstrings, but often it's more.

From "Minding What Matters" by Robert Langdon:

"A contemporary monk remarks that under meditative concentration 'the convention of personality starts to unfold into energetic patterns - patterns that are ephemeral but karmically potent when they're held onto... You experience yourself more like an energetic sphere of sensitivity than as a six-foot tall vertebrate who's a man or a woman... the mind itself becomes different... part of what is going on... [not] some separate thing that thinks and decides [and judges]."
