I enjoyed your section last month on how yoga impacts our senses (issue 105, February 2020). I had a little think about this and I believe this is exactly why yoga (and also meditation) is so powerful. It is the opportunity to stop, to pause, and to really tune in to what is going on both within you and around you. We are most likely all guilty of letting whole days (and probably weeks, months and even years) slip by unnoticed, but a regular yoga practice can bring just the right break, or pause, to re-tune our senses back into those things that really matter: from the smell of a rose flower to the sweet sounds of the music we love.
