Yoga: Balance and peace.

When balance is sought—in yoga, in breath work, in life—peace is what found. Peace that rises up around us. And also within us. 
 

It’s easy to shake our heads at this. To careen through life too fast, never finding that middle ground where the harmony of existence lives and breathes and fills the air.

It’s easy to think that this harmony is not for us. That peace eludes us. That our struggles are too many. But, the truth is, balance shows us that peace does not translate to absence of sorrow, strife or difficult times. 

Peace is being in the middle of those things, and, yet, still trusting. Trusting we will find center. Trusting center will find us. Trusting with all our heart.

Inspired by this quote (author unknown). “Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. ”
