Welcome to my blog.
Yoga is a spiritual path.
The word yoga actually means union, union between the individual and God. Whether you consider yourself spiritual or not, whether you practice a traditional spiritual discipline (i.e. a traditional religion) or you go to the other end of the spectrum and believe there is nothing beyond what you can perceive through the senses, yoga can take you into another realm, something beyond your normal, hectic, survival mode, day-to-day consciousness.
One of the things that really attracted me to yoga was I didn't have to believe anything. Back in 1975, I was as big a skeptic as they come. Had the expression existed back then, my response to what I'm writing now would have been, "Yeah, right!"
I started yoga because a friend I respected was doing yoga. He was different from other friends. When asked, he said it was because he was doing yoga. That wasn't enough for me. I couldn't believe him just because he said so. I never was a blind follower or believer. My only option was to check it out myself.
