Yoga is much more than the physical movement of our bodies on yoga mats. Yoga also offers us insights into our motivations, our desires, and the ways in which we feel about ourselves. We can broaden our experience of yoga by exploring yoga philosophy and mythology. This approach is called Jnana (NYAH-nah) Yoga. The Sanskrit word jnana means wisdom, and Jnana Yoga means the yoga of wisdom. In our lives as yoga practitioners, we can cultivate an intelligence of both our bodies and our minds. Wisdom can be found in every corner of yoga, whether we are moving on our mats, meditating on a cushion, or reading ancient texts. Yoga is wisdom. ~Yoga 365, Daily Wisdom for Life, On and Off the Mat by Susanna Harwood Rubin
