Yoga is a whole system, a multidimensional path that mirrors the layered complexity of being human. The word yoga itself means union, and it invites us to explore and welcome all aspects of ourselves, to realize a state of wholeness and harmony within.

People come to yoga from all kinds of different “rooms.” These rooms open into one great house that is Yoga. Once you’ve stepped into one room, consider wandering into a few others. Each one offers a different kind of medicine. Together, they deepen our practice and our understanding.

If your days are like mine—filled with movement, responsibilities, and constant stimulation— Yang, you might find yourself craving silence, Yin. At first, silence can feel uncomfortable. The mind resists, filling the space with thoughts of all the "productive" things you could be doing. But embracing silence helps you connect to your creativity and promotes efficiency.
