Are we practicing yoga to live a better life or do we live to have a better practice? Something worth contemplating on. With today's enormous social media and peer pressure we can hardly ever satisfy our neverending desires. There's always an exciting new insta-worthy photo to add, a challenging pose we want to push our bodies into, but once we have fulfilled these, are we really done? What's next? Another desire has already risen in the mind so we can start fulfilling that one and it just goes on and on and on. Finding contentment in the action itself, knowing when to say no or pull back a bit requires a strong intellect. There's nothing wrong with challenging the body and mind , but it's up to our intellect to choose the path that serves us the most over the one our ego desires is the real advanced mindset. 📷 by @theflowstudio #yogaphilosophy #vedanta #yogaeveryday #pigeonpose
