Thanks Ashley. This was a great exploration of the intersection of yoga philosophy and science based health practices.

For me, I 💯 know that I am healthier as a direct result of my yoga practice. In mind, body and spirit. I don’t need any other data. 💕

I love that. So often I think people use science as a gatekeeper. They won't even try something because there is no evidence that suggests it works. But if you don't try, you'll never know and yoga is definitely one of those practices that you have to feel to know it works. Even if we don't understand how exactly it's working. Bravo on trusting yourself and your own experience! That's the most advanced yoga practice there is 🙂

Thanks again and again, Ashley, for putting together so much valuable information for us and empowering us to think for ourselves! This is a really important post that can work to make yoga much more accessible for those who have any doubts about it.

That's my ultimate goal in life is to get people to think. Woohoo! I achieved it this one time lol. I always say the hardest part about yoga is getting there. Once you're there it's all gravy.
