Spiritual

Shows you the importance of being an empty cup – let go of unconscious assumptions and be ready to learn about yourself
Clears energy pathways – according to yoga philosophy, there are 72000 energy channels – or nadis – in the body; yoga aims to clear and energise these pathways
Moves you into mindfulness  which gives way for the illumination of your consciousness – direct attention to the formless fabric of reality

Stop asking for permission to be yourself – become the purest and most powerful form of yourself
