In yoga, you slow down to focus on what’s happening in your body. This in itself is highly valuable, because in everyday life, your normal state of consciousness is very scattered. You’re focusing on lots of things at the same time.

Therefore, to focus completely on a yoga pose, and the way you’re using your body, is liberating.

As you continue to place your attention on your body, you’ll become aware of the movement of energy within you. This energy is healing.

Do your yoga poses with conscious attention: this is meditation.
