What's Your Yoga Story?

by Erin Ipjian

Ask any dedicated practitioner about their yoga story, and you're likely to hear something along these lines: "I came to yoga seeking (some very concrete benefit for the body, such as) increased flexibility, strength, or relief from my back pain." From there, the practitioner often continues, "what I found was so much more."

The "so much more" is hard to describe, but that doesn't stop us from trying. :) Often, yoga practitioners refer to finding "a greater sense of ease, peace of mind, or - even - more happiness." We often realize that while the physical benefits that initially drew us to practice are wonderful, what eventually unfolds on the mat is something even better.

Thanks for practicing with me. Here's to continuing your yoga story. See you on the mat!
