YOGA IS MORE THAN ASANA (POSTURES)
The beautiful system of Yoga described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras:

Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, the eightfold path is called ashtanga, which literally means “eight limbs” (ashta=eight, anga=limb). These eight steps, commonly known as the 8 limbs of yoga, basically act as guidelines on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. They serve as a prescription for moral and ethical conduct and self-discipline; they direct attention toward one’s health; and they help us to acknowledge the spiritual aspects of our nature" -yogayournal.com

Within each of us exists the power to create and destroy. Being in this material universe means that none of us are outside of this duality. In order to create anything, destruction is necessary. All of us are creators and destroyers. No process in nature is outside of this.

It is therefore important that, in order to establish a world of peace and love that nurtures the soul, we all, each of us, accept this fact. None of us are clean of bloodshed. None of us can wipe our hands of the destruction inherent in our beings; after all it comes from the same source, Shiva, the destroyer.

In India, this duality is called Shakti/Shiva; the creative destructive force of the universe. In order to create, we must destroy. One of the most valuable substances on our planet is created in the moment of a star’s destruction; gold bursts forth from the collapse of a star in the sublime super nova that instantaneously follows. The creation of planets is accomplished through a great and violent colliding of terrestrial objects, transformative heat, and culmination of gases orbiting a newborn a star. Everything we create on this Earth is done through the breaking down of organic and inorganic matter. Plants are grown in soil fertilized by the demise and waste of organic materials. In the ashes of a fire, a forest blooms and blossoms with new life.

Even mental processes of creating new thought patterns rely on the destruction of old ones. In order to form a new habit, death of an old habit must commence. Some call it transformative in order to break free of negative language, but this idea, too, is simply the destruction of thought. Creation. Destruction. Creation. Destruction. It occurs through a great cycle, dictated by Source energy through its feminine and masculine principles"
