In a world that often prioritizes achievements and external validation, finding true happiness can sometimes feel elusive. For many, the answer lies in an ancient practice that transcends mere exercise: yoga. While it may sound cliché, I truly believe that yoga embodies the essence of happiness. It’s frequently said that yoga is more about inner work than physical exertion, and I resonate deeply with this perspective.

In the world of yoga, there is often a common misconception that extreme flexibility is the ultimate goal, with practitioners striving to achieve deep stretches and advanced poses. However, at Forum Modern Yoga, we approach the ancient practice from a different perspective – one that values sustainability over extreme flexibility. Our focus is on building strength and stability in the body, creating a practice that is not only physically beneficial but also ageless, mindful, and sustainable in the long run.

The concept of an "advanced practice" in yoga can often be subjective and open to interpretation. At Forum Modern Yoga, we view an advanced practice not as a measure of physical prowess or mastery of complex poses, but as a journey towards clarity in our movement, our breath, and our being.

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to get caught up in the routine and lose sight of the potential for growth and self-discovery that lies within each of us. But what if we approached our yoga practice with a sense of curiosity and open-mindedness? Music producer Rick Rubin once said, "The heart of open-mindedness is curiosity," and this simple yet profound statement holds true in the world of yoga.
