Yoga, which emphasizes the universal, is a perfect foil to those human activities that glorify the personal experience. The process of yoga therapy helps the individual to shift from an “I”-centric approach to a “we”-centric approach. Transformation from “I-ness” to “we-ness” is the core of spiritual healing.

The Bhagavad Gita says, “Yoga is skill in action” (2:50). The real yogi is conscious and aware at the physical, mental, and emotional levels of their being. They gain great control over all aspects of life, thus developing a real skill in living. They realize that their duty is to do their best, but that the ultimate result is not in their hands. The yogi performs the needed action not for the sake of the fruits of that action, but because it is good and necessary to do so for everyone’s benefit.
