An uncontrolled mind cannot find peace.
Your mind can be either your sanctuary or your storm.
For me, yoga has become a way of learning how to meet my mind through the physical body.
Especially in balancing asana, there is nowhere else for my attention to go. I cannot think about the tasks I need to complete, think about the past, or worry about what comes in the future.
If my mind wanders, my will too and loose my balance! It is very natural for our mind to wander, but through asana practise returning to my breath, helps me to return to my body and the present moment.
Over the years my practice has become less about holding or achieving a pose and more about learning to hold my attention.
For me peace of my mind is not about controlling my thoughts, but more about learning where my attention is and bringing it back to the present moment.
