Yoga is for everybody with any life circumstances or occupations, backgrounds. It is not a religious activity, but a way of life to really know who we are, and to know that we are all one with the universal consciousness beyond individuality. In the modern world, it is widely stated and believed that individuality is the key for success, the key for real pleasures. By believing in such modern individualism, which is not aligned with the nature of the universal law, we experience misalignments in ourselves. Do you feel like you are always in search for happiness, more excitements, more appraisals from the others, more and more in something you don’t even know? It is time to put our egos on the side and face the reality and find a real happiness that never vanishes with time or outside circumstances. How do we do that? Yoga is the answer.

Trying to find the source of happiness in the outside world usually end up with disappointments or emptiness within ourselves. It is not because you are not trying harder enough or doing it right, but it just doesn’t exist. Happiness is the state of our inner-selves, not something you can gain from the outside world, so we need to flip the arrow to point inwards and explore the beautiful world within where the ever-lasting happiness has always been there waiting for you to find. When we look at the nature, they don’t unnecessarily interfere each other or compare each other. Each of them is doing their roles set by the law of the nature, and they are co-existing, even helping each other’s growths. We, human beings are always made up of the natural materials too, but we tend to go against the nature; hurting other existences, competing with each other and having envies or feeing superiority, trying to show ourselves to be something we are not to meet the expectations from the others…These activities against the paw of the harmonious nature affect us negatively both physically and mentally. Yoga – it is commonly translated in ‘to unite’, or ‘to join’ in Sanskrit language, and it is the way of living in a harmony with other existences and our own-selves and also, to unite with the universal consciousness and the individual consciousness. When we understand and actually experience this universal facts, we see that we are the Self that is always peacefully existing behind all the happenings in our mind, and the mind is just a tool. When we experience this true Self, we also experience all the existences are one as the universal consciousness, and the true bliss and ever-lasting happiness arise within us.
