Thank you for your Beginner’s Guide to Yoga series. Part 3 is what makes me appreciate yoga even more because I have a better understanding of the philosophy behind yoga – especially Kleshas and Gunas. Even though I’m once again starting out I believe yoga will always be a part of my life.
Hey Barbara,
Congratulations on ‘once again starting out’. To start, and start, and start again is to Live. Every breath we take is a fresh intake, a small new life, as every exhale we take is a letting go, a small death. This is the cycle of life and death that happens in the micro every day. Enjoy your new yoga journey!
