Yoga Benefits

I am beginning a new book: Threads of Yoga.  Thanks to my niece, Kate.  It is a whole new take on Patanjali's sutras.   Here are a few words that caught my attention - particularly the last few words:  "it does not lie."
The legacy of yoga has been resurrected in our time through the innate pleasure of our flesh.  The simplest techniques of breathing, spinal elongation, and joint fluidity have given countless flesh-alienated postmoderns a renewed sense of vitality, purpose, grounding, and connection........Through modern postural yoga we have remembered that our flesh innately wants to rejoice, connect, and serve--and that it does not lie.
In my experience, these words are fact - vitality, purpose, grounding, and connection.  Yes, these are benefits of practicing Hatha yoga, as we teach at The Yogatorium.
