the practices of yoga are simple.

you always already have the only thing you ever need:

your attention.

everything else is nonessential.


yoga is when “I” am not.



in yoga, transformation is not optional;

who you become, however, is not up to you.



yoga just is

no longer fleeing

yourself



never finished,

always complete.

this is yoga.

attention

paying attention.

this is yoga.

sensation,

untranslated.

this is yoga.

no clinging.

not even to no-clinging.

this is yoga.

an ocean churned,

now soft as water.

this is yoga.


this.

this is yoga

yoga only begins

the moment you realise

you cannot escape your freedom.

suffering

is the demand

that you own up

to your freedom.
