Introducing the Yoga Trail Channel,

So many posts to read! Yay!
I did not, as a teen aged male in the 1970s, have any problem accepting that the union of body and mind implied that good Yoga led to good spiritual growth.
But that was then and this is now. Yes, there are people who do Yoga as a form of simple exercise and few people are willing to completely devote themselves to a religion of any sort these days.
Things are really different now, but I still believe that good Yoga will naturally and inevitably lead to a more spiritual practice, no matter your religious or non-religious beliefs.
How I choose posts to curate : I check for obvious plagiarism, good grammar, and friendly, creative and engaging writing. Then it's a matter of value to the community over how much a post has already earned. I lean towards posts that don't have a lot of votes when I can.

So this is a perfect post for me, since I have sworn to never let anyone see me trying to do Yoga. I'm not ready to change my mind about that, but I'm willing to think about it.
This can make a major difference in my workout. I always carry stress into it because of a pretty high level of pain. I have to learn to relax into each pose, as well, I'm telling myself right now, as into the whole session. I need to schedule in a few more minutes to prepare myself properly.
on her hard work and accomplishment.
