What is Yoga to you? - asked someone today
The meaning of the same word changes with time, experiences, readiness and karmas.
Yoga is state not a work out. If we have to understand the meaning of the word, Yoga comes from the root word, "yuj" which means yoking and union. However this union can be understood in many different ways.

Some pointers for everyday practice that may lead to the state of yoga
Signs and symptoms of someone moving towards Yoga and becoming Yoga:
When your consistent practice help you in making clearer choices in every day life - you are being Yoga
When your everyday practice helps you in taking a pause and respond instead of react - you are being Yoga
When you talk less about what you do but continue to do your Dharma irrespective of the results - you are being Yoga
When you continue to respect your roots and the eternal lineage of love, wisdom and Yogins - you are being Yoga
When what you say, what you think and what you do are aligned, you are being Yoga
When you pay attention to how much to say (mitam), how to say (priyam) and if it is important to say (hitam) - you are being Yoga.
To Sum up....
Yoga is union, oneness or none-ness
Dissolution or evolution
Is it me being one or me being none
It is emptiness or a kind of fulness
Is it fluid or is it permanent (state)
For me it is filled with emptiness
It is evolution into involution
It is neither this nor that
It is all and nothing at once
It is still as well as thrill
It is a song as well as its silence
It is the strength as well as surrender
The doing as well as the letting go
It is light and it's reflection too
It is me as well as you
Filled with emptiness
And emptied of fulness!
Are you living your Yoga or doing your Yoga?
I wish we all live the state of Yoga, I wish that we speak what we know based on experience.
