Seekers who believe they must practice yoga only in the meditation room are under a great illusion. They must practice yoga in society as well. Practicing yoga in the meditation room is easy because there are no external disturbances. But one encounters many disturbances while practicing yoga in society, which makes it very difficult.

#1 Yoga Review Introduction

I had no way of knowing just how drastically my life would change. There was just the epiphany that I needed to take control of the life I live and save myself from what felt like a never ending cycle of stagnation and poverty. I had the knowledge, but that was miniscule compared to the wisdom gained through experience and continuous practice, which resulted in enlightenment. The way yogic rituals and principles influenced my life is nothing short of expansive, indeed profound. That said, of those life- changing encounters, I chose those elements in particular that I am able to articulate and share, in hopes that someone will be able to take action in their lives and achieve prosperity and well- being. A state of abundance and a higher quality of life that every living being is entitled to.
