I have this incredibly knowledgeable teacher that I once heard answer the question ‚what is yoga?‘ just very brilliantly with ‚I don’t know.‘ I thought this was the best answer. And I never had heard a teacher state that before. Quite the opposite, everybody seems to know what the totality of yoga is.
Yet I think it’s useful to talk about yoga, to offer a context for our practice in our lives, so that it becomes meaningful.
As the term ‚yoga‘ for most people evokes ideas about juncture, connection, union, then in what places can we feel connection happen? When do two things hold their balance and become one? What conditions are required?
All of this inquiry is practice. We get to know our life. And its opposites. And sometimes their connection.
May this field of practice be wide and useful for everybody. Thank you.
