By Sindy Warren The practice of yoga is so much more than physical movement and exercise. In fact, the physical part of yoga is merely one-eighth of this transformative practice. As I explain in my new book Radi8: Using the Practice of Yoga to Cultivate Your Inner Shine, yoga is an eight-limbed path aimed at helping us move closer to our true selves, our inner beings. One of the most significant, albeit least known parts of the practice is captured by the word “stillness.” The journey of yoga involves a slowing down; a settling and stilling whereby we move from…
