Yoga is great for the body and flexibility; but, yoga is actually a state of mind and way of life. In your most difficult of times, in your happiest of times, the yoga mindset can bring you through the thickest of fogs and into the most joyful of times. We are so quick to go to the doctor for a pill to fix our issues like depression, insomnia, and anxiety.  The issue isn’t the lack of the pill; this issue is inside of us.  The emotions you can’t quiet, the sadness you can’t escape… it’s a path you can take charge of by processing, dealing with it, and finding the strength to move on.
