Community 🍀

One of the definitions of yoga is Union. To ‘union’ anything, you need more than one to bring to oneness. As human ego/minds we don’t recognize our oneness with the others. We see the world from our little bubble of existence, through our eyes/emotions/thoughts that have been formed by our personal experiences and personality. Then with success we feel ‘I did it’. The opposite happens with failure, inside we may feel ‘I’m bad’ but our ego tries to find fault outside. It’s easier to handle our failures if we can find someone or something else to blame.

BUT when we recognize the union (interconnectedness) we begin to know that we are not separate from the others. Therefore, both our successes and failures are outcomes of many humans, situations, experiences coming together. Cultivating gratitude to the greater community and working with others is part of yoga. We cannot survive without the others.

Ashtanga Yoga Paris is a place of happiness and healing because of the coming together of many…success is a community affair!
