Yoga is about stilling the mind. It is an ancient practice that allows the yogi to turn away from a sense of 'me and my life' and instead dwell within to the happenings that are occurring in the moment. The mind is seen just as a conditioned bunch of thoughts that operate according to ones priors events and karma. Through the practice of yoga which includes Yoga Asana, Pranayama and meditation, one is able to dwell on the eternal presence and not get swayed by the temporary fluctuations that will occur in life
