Yoga can be done as a temporary feel good and it can become a way of living.

Yoga can be done to know your body/mind better and it can become transformative of all of your relationships.

Yoga can be done to be part of a group and it can become a way to help you sense your belonging, interconnection and interdependence with everything.
