Yoga is a philosophy of balance

“Yoga is a philosophy of balance. When you expose yourself to Yoga, you learn how to be simple in every aspect of your lifestyle and being. When there is simplicity there is relaxation, where there is complication there is tension. When you expose yourself to the influences of Yoga, the light of spirituality has to shine. When the light of Yoga shines you will be very happy, otherwise there is darkness. In the darkness you have fears, insecurities and misunderstandings. Yoga is a way of life. It doesn’t matter what nationality, religion, social or political creeds a person follows. Yoga is concerned with man’s personal life and how he can improve it.”

Swami Satyananda Saraswati
