In almost all cultures people thought about a possible life after death. But how do we actually spend the time before?
While questions about an afterworld quickly lead us to the borders of our knowledge – philosophers call this transcendence: that which goes beyond the borders of our experience and consciousness – we do know that every day brings us another twenty-four hours to spend in one way or another. Am I the director of my own life? Or am I rather like a leaf that the wind carries from one place to another?
Yoga is a means to achieve relaxation and fitness. But it can be a lot more. For me it is a path to self-knowledge. A path encompassing body and mind. A path of experience and studying, guided by tradition and ethics. A path to: Purpose. Sincerity. Satisfaction.
On the Path of Yoga
thinking is directed clearly and determined.
Who remains indecisive
is aimless and scattered. (BG 2.41)
Welcome on the Path of Yoga!
On these pages I would like to share ideas from the yogaworld with you. Ideas that inspired me to live more consciously. Your questions and comments are welcome.
