Yoga in the original sense was a completely different thing than the vinyasa-flow class currently offered for $15 at your local studio. It was a life-long process of self-examination and self-transformation that was aimed at self-realization... Yoga was a fire that was meant to burn away everything that kept the student from being free and knowing that they were God[ess]. The goal was never about accomplishment in the practice, how long you could meditate, etc. It was certainly never about how groovy you looked or how fun the practice was." ~David H Wagner
