Setting goals in Yoga is different...and the same in many ways as with other things.

  • Do say "I'm going to learn to do this pose"
  • Don't say "I'm going to move this far in this many days/weeks/months"
Yoga teaches us new and different ways to set and meet goals.

Don't let your Yoga skills go to your head

Yogis were into doing selfies before Facebook and social media was influential. Yoga opens new worlds and you can't help but be more full of yourself because yoga teaches you self-acceptance in a manner that our culture does not.

Of course, we must always still remember that humbleness is as big a part of our human spiritual self as is our ego, and that's what makes a Yoga practice complete.

Blessings!

Ahimsa-How to define it for yourself

Yogini Sarah Lowenstein
Yogi and yoga teacher Sarah Lowenstein of Denver, CO considers it her obligation. She is an outspoken advocate for animal rights and emphasizes compassion between all beings in her teachings
“I became a vegetarian (or Pescatarian) at the age of 5 after my grandfather made the connection for me between the cow and the burger I was eating.
