Yoga is Intimacy with life itselt
Today, yoga has become something it's not: a series of stretches or fitness routines for people who look a certain way - This is not Yoga.
Yoga is the practice of uniting the mind and body through the breath. In this way, we inhabit ourselves with presence and fully participate in the reality of our lives.
Yoga is intimacy with life itself. And when we engage in life in this way, deep transformations take place.

This is not in any particular ‘style’ of Yoga. it is also not just exercise or stretches.
This is Yoga. The heart and breath-centred practice brought forth from the ancient traditions by Sri Krishnamacharya.
Yoga is the ancient practice of intimacy with breath, body and life. It is embracing reality itself.
The practice could be described as breath-centred tantra HaTha yoga.
HaTha yoga where Ha means sun and Tha means moon. HaTha is therefore the union of opposites that arise and return to the heart. Hatha yoga is the participation and union of these opposites. Above - below, left - right, front - back, within - without, strength - receptivity, inhale - exhale, sun - moon, masculine - feminine.
Tantra’s philosophy is based on the principles of non-duality, meaning that in life there is no separation. Tantra recognises that we are an inseparable part of the universe. Therefore a tantra-based yoga focuses on the body as a temple to worship the all-encompassing oneness of life as sacred.
The practise of Yoga weaves together asana (body postures), pranayama (breathwork), mantras (chants), mudras (hand postures), and visualisations. Through these meditation may arise as a gift.

Of course! there is no such thing as “advanced” yoga. no one can do yoga better than you.
Yoga is your intimate participation in the life that you are.
Through a practice of yoga we:
Start to feel the body again. For years, we’ve grown desensitized, valuing the mind and overlooking the body’s quiet wisdom. But intuition, direction, and purpose live here — in the body. Without it, the mind gets lost, it looses its anchor and direction.
Begin to see that we are already whole. The idea that we are incomplete or need to become someone else starts to fade. We recognize that we are life itself — the intelligence and wisdom of nature. From this place, we can move toward our desires and needs, not out of lack, but from a sense of fullness.
Learn to feel and hold our emotions. This allows us to process them instead of reacting to them, understand their messages and align our actions.
Deepen our relationships. We cultivate intimate relationships with ourselves and others, creating authentic and meaningful connections.

““I maintain there is nothing for you to attain.
Trying to attain something is the very mechanics of the mind that obliterates you noticing that you are a perfect arising of the intelligence and beauty of life.
The person is already perfect and perfectly functioning, and the yoga is purely participation in this, not manipulation in any way.
Yoga must be fitted to the person, not the person to yoga””
