Yoga is Where the Heart Is. ~ The Yoga Comics

Santosha: “At some point we all think to ourselves ‘I’d be happy if…’ or ‘I could practice if…’

The truth is that there will always be something that we think is in our way. If we wait for that ‘perfect’ moment, chances are that it will never come.

The niyama, santosha, is about contentment. Seeing things with equanimity and finding the grace in our daily lives. In this way, each moment is a chance for yoga, a chance for liberation, whether we are on a beautiful mountain top or in a teensy cubicle.

“As the mind, so the man; bondage or liberation are in your own mind.”
