The yoga pose is not the goal. Becoming flexible is not the goal. Standing on your hands is not the goal. The goal is serenity. Balance. Truly finding peace in your own skin.

True meditation is about being fully present with everything that is including discomfort and challenges. It is not an escape from life.
Yoga practice can make us more and more sensitive to subtler and subtler sensations in the body. Paying attention to and staying with finer and finer sensations within the body is one of the surest ways to steady the wandering mind.
Your body exists in the past and your mind exists in the future. In yoga, they come together in the present.
