The grocery list, your boyfriend, what’s happening at work – in an instant we have racing through our minds a million-and-one thoughts.
It’s never ending. A constant stream of white-noise that blocks us from seeing and truly experiencing the magic that’s happening in the present moment.
There’s a quote in our free 101 Yoga Quotes eBook that really drives home this point beautifully:
Thoughts can create such a barrier
that even if you are standing before
a beautiful flower, you will not be
able to see it. Your eyes are
covered with layers of thought”

Layers of thought are keeping you from enjoying the moment. They’re holding you back from connecting with yourself. They’re the barriers you’re building inside of yourself that are blocking you from touching the deep still point that’s hidden within you.
But there’s a secret key to help you break free from the noise that’s buzzing around within your mind.
And that’s coming back to the mat.
Come back to the moment.
Come back to the movement.
Come back to your breathing.
Come back to your body.
Yoga brings you back to yourself. It breaks you free from the busyness of life. From your worries, concerns and thoughts…if you let it.
Yoga invites you to come back to the simple beauty of being alive.
