For many of us, it’s an aching body or a stressed-out mind that brings us to the yoga mat. This can seem like a bad thing in the beginning, but it’s really a cleverly hidden gift. Whatever it is that gets us to the practice of yoga, it is only the excuse that Spirit uses to get us started on the path.

Yoga has a wonderful way of taking our greatest weaknesses and turning them into our greatest spiritual assets. At first we learn to do this on the yoga mat with poses that challenge us physically, mentally, and emotionally. But when we open the heart and mind to yoga, it becomes so much more. The poses of life soon become our practice too, and we have one opportunity after another to practice yoga all day long in our busy urban lives. –Darren Main, Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic
