The Living Yoga Blog
Welcome to The Living Yoga Blog — we very much hope you’ll find this to be a helpful resource in your exploration of the path of Yoga. We’d like to start by sharing a bit of the idea behind this site. We feel very lucky to live in an age where there’s so much great information about Yoga, especially the physical. That much said, while there’s definitely some great information on Yoga philosophy, we believe there isn’t quite the same unified support – that is, a place to learn more about the “big picture” and to build a systematic understanding of how the pieces of Yoga fit together.
Our hope is The Living Yoga Blog can be such a place: a resource you can turn to, not only to learn the basics but to understand the interconnections, and, in turn, deepen your own understanding & approach. We’d like to start that today with an exploration of what Yoga is ultimately “all about,” including how the branches of Yoga fit these greater ideas.
