Program
Goal
Some people think objectives and goals are not yogic. To those people, you can say: “Wake up!”. Is there anyone alive who never had goals? If you took a yoga teacher training course, you had goals. If you find this person without goals, he or she would be the human embodiment of a sloth. Who thinks laziness is yogic? If you find that person, ask him or her to read before spreading more disinformation. Samridhi Yoga School knows that Patanjali had goals because he completed the Yoga Sutras. People who practice yoga find themselves drawn to it for many different reasons.
Some practice because they want to relax. Others do it because they want to increase their mental and physical flexibility. Still others practice because they want to challenge themselves. There are many reasons why people find themselves immersed in Yogic practices. Yet, all of that just barely scratches the surface. That is why it is so important to set certain goals or objectives in order to elicit the most from your practice.
