There are many ideas out there about what a yoga practice should look like: some believe that it’s only valid if it has a spiritual component; others focus on strictly physical benefits. I have my ideas, too. I believe that an appropriate yoga practice can facilitate change on any level – physical, physiological, spiritual, but it doesn’t mean that every practice should have all those elements present. Sometimes it IS just about the body. Other times it IS all about connecting to something greater.

      Hi Robin – sounds good! Originally I was more focused on making infographics that are easy for “pinning” on Instagram, etc., but I know how we yoga teachers love our printouts :))
