The point of yoga is to develop a level of clarity and self-understand ing so that when weโre done doing our yoga practice we make really good decisions, because that will determine whether weโre fulfilled.

In the process of doing so, you will necessarily be made more whole and act in such a way as to support the larger world of which you are a part.
