Summary: <p>in The Yoga Sutra, yoga is defined as "the stilling of the turnings of the mind," the turnings of the mind -- or vrittis -- show up for each of us, almost constantly...to still them is to bring ourselves to our senses in the present moment.</p> <p>yoga does that by giving the mind postures on which to focus...ways to move that bring the mind into what we're doing: right here, right now.</p> <p>the way we get the mind into the body in vinyasa yoga is through steady, conscious breathing. it's a practice...no one's perfect at it, but you get better at what you practice. </p> <p>breathe. move. feel better.</p>
