If yoga is about life, this means ALL life, not just part of it. Together, the spiritual and the material constitute the whole you, the whole of the experience of being human, and the nature of the universe in which you live. There may be no step more important to achieving ultimate fulfillment than accepting what the Vedas teach us about desires--that some desires are inpsired by your soul.

In the end, yoga has less to do with what you can do with your body and more to do with the happiness that unfolds from realizing your full potential.

The yoga tradition addresses how to live and how to shape your life with a commanding sense of purpose, capacity and meaning.

Yoga is about life, this means all of life, not just part of it.

Of course, not all desires lead to happiness. Desires can and do lead to pain and frustration.
