A Quote by Erich Schiffmann
Yoga is a way of moving into stillness in order to experience the truth of who you are. The practice of yoga is the practice of meditation-or inner listening-in the poses and meditations, as well as all day long. It's a matter of listening inwardly for guidance all the time, and then daring enough and trusting enough to do as you are prompted to do.

The literal meaning of "yoga" is "union," "integration," "reconnection." But in the context of practice, yoga is a way of gaining access to your own inner luminosity and becoming established in your essential self.
