Ashtanga Yoga teacher Maria Boox speaks about the meaning of Yoga and how it is a reflection of one’s state of mind. Maria explains that when the mind is in harmony within and without, we have a connection with our inner voice and we don’t react to external happenings. Yoga practices teach us how to get to know the mind, and to stay calm no matter what happens. Yoga is more than yoga poses and a fit body; that is not the biggest aim of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra. Maria emphasizes that life keeps changing and it is important to always maintain the same level of happiness, whatever our situation.
