Many practices, One intention.

When looking up for yoga classes through search engines, one will be bombarded by a whole list of various yoga names.
From the hatha... therapy... anusara... yin...yang...vinyasa..ashtanga...iyenger...restorative... jivamuka...shakti...kundalini....and so on. Isn't this hair-pulling? Which one is best suited for us?

We pick up yoga practices for various reasons, but for just one common intention.
Teachers out there are sharing different practices, but all for just one intention.
It does not matter which style we are at, so long we feel comfortable and connected with ourselves with the practices. If there's any other intention, it'll be a good one.

Many times, students slowly drift away from the practice when they come to know the amount of effort they need to put in. Putting off by how much work they need to put into for themselves.

Think, think about the initial intention of searching for yoga classes.
Recall, recall on the intention that we've want to really improve some aspect of our life.
It does not matter at what level of practice we are in, what matters is- we're already in, and keep going. Slowly, but surely.

i salute to the moms in prenatal classes. however tired they may be after a long they work, carrying tummies that's growing tremendously huge, battling from legs cramps and struggling their way up the flights of stairs for the weekly practice. For one intention- a healthy body for a healthy baby.
That's the mama's spirit!
