Inner Peace
Explore all yoga articles and sharing under the topic 'Inner Peace'
Inner Peace is one of the core goals of yoga practice. At the very beginning of the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali states: "Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind" (Yogas chitta vritti nirodha). When the inner noise gradually subsides, we can see our true selves and experience a deep peace that doesn't depend on external conditions.
These articles share moments of peace experienced in practice and in life — perhaps total relaxation in a deep forward bend, the melting of body and mind during Savasana, or a sudden calm that arises when facing adversity. Inner peace isn't about escaping reality but about finding that unmovable centre amid the turmoil.
