Yoga

A quieter room.

Not every form of attention belongs to medicine or software. Some of it belongs to breath, stillness, and practice.

This section is being built slowly. It will hold notes on yoga, grounding, and the disciplines that make it easier to return to the world with steadier attention.

Small Facts

A few small facts.

The word is older than the postures.

Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root "yuj," often understood as to yoke, join, or bring into alignment.

Asana once meant a seat.

In older texts, asana referred first to a stable seat for practice. The vast modern posture vocabulary came much later.

Breath practice is not only about taking deeper breaths.

Pranayama is often as much about rhythm, restraint, and attention as it is about lung volume.

The tradition is wider than movement.

Ethics, concentration, study, breath, and stillness all belong to yoga, not only the visible physical forms.
