Yoga For Sale

Just saw someone post about the yoga they offer (or maybe it’s the yoga they sell 🤔 🤷🏼)

Hatha yoga, yoga nidra, zen yoga, inner yoga 😂 

I didn’t know there was an inner and an outer yoga? Where does the inner end and outer begin?? Is there a middle yoga? Is Buddha yoga then middle yoga if we find “the middle way” 😂 

And what’s the differences between these all???  Aren’t they all just “yoga.”  

Yoga, loosely defined as “the recognition (or merging) with the nature of reality,” doesn’t require labeling of different paths (or in this case brands) because the individual parts are still all a part of the greater whole. There is only yoga here. There is only presence. Yoga/presence encompasses it all, they are the whole. To label the individual parts as a whole is misleading and misinformed. These are possible paths to yoga but are not yoga themselves. 

And likely if someone is marketing yoga this way… these aren’t even paths these are just exercise. And while there is not a problem with exercise.. it most likely is not yoga.  

## Get on your path by getting off the path you’ve been sold… ## (and yes even if you’re on the “wrong” path, you are still always on the “right” path as there is no other path than the lived experience. There is no wrong path… only slightly more irksome and arduous ones 😆
