oday, people are turning to yoga for many reasons. Those reasons range from managing one’s stress to preventative health measures, healing the body from addictions, or perhaps simply because it is “trendy”. For some, it has been prescribed as therapy for an ailment or injury, or it is the means to achieving a desired physique “the yoga body”.
The truth of the matter is, yoga can and does serve many, if not all of the reasons, but the real purpose of this practice is far from just physical. Physical strength may be developed, but the ultimate purpose of yoga is the inner journey, unique to each practitioner.
