Graphic of two brown comma-shaped quotation marks facing each other.

yoga is not something to perfect
not a posture to master
nor a rhythm to follow

it is a quiet remembering of what is within
a gentle listening
a pause in the movement of life

beyond the form, beyond the breath
yoga is presence
being with what is
without judgement, without rush

it invites you to feel
to soften
to stay

in the stillness or in motion
in silence or in sound
yoga reveals itself
not as something you do
but as something you are

this is yoga, as it is
no more, no less
