in the realm of yoga, the essence of self is often hidden, wrapped in the non-disclosure of the universe’s deepest secrets, as if existence itself practices a form of silence. this silence, this disaffirmation of the commotion of the world, acts as a precursory step towards the reset of our inner standards, allowing us to find peace and balance within the chaos that surrounds. thus, in every breath and movement, we learn to value the silence that teaches us, cherishing the knowledge that comes not from words, but from being.
