Yoga practice isn't a technique
for toning the body
and giving you a sexy yoga bum.
It isn't about purple mats,
or blocks and belts,
or minimalist musical mantras.
Yoga practice enables you
to know your body -
to love what you don't understand.
To turn off the noise in the mind -
to let the wisdom
of the heart to take over.
Oh! In addition
yoga practice does tone your body
and give you a sexy yoga bum!
