GOAL OF YOGA
self-realization, liberation or enlightenment
Yoga is a powerful connection to yourself, that can lead you to a new understanding of who you are and show you where the power to be yourself lies.
While the goal of yoga is "self-realization" "liber
ation" or "enlightenment" its rarely what most beginners of yoga have in mind at the onset, the slow, steady, and gradual awakening that comes from a regular practice, does brings change.
This change often includes very tangible aspects of personal transformation, like improved health and vitality, reduced stress, disease, and increased sense of well-being and feelings of generosity, compassion, and understanding.
What may have started, for example, as a curiosity about yoga or a purely physical pursuit of the yoga postures for increased fitness and flexibility, can become a vehicle for emotional growth and spiritual adventure.
