Yoga and Money

The most challenging yoga lessons for me have not come about from holding advanced physical poses as seen in yoga magazines and yoga DVDs. The physical world I’ve struggled with most is composed of bank statements, fee invoices and ideas of “credit” and “debit.” A different world of stretching and balancing!
Money is a funny topic in the worlds I’ve lived in most of my life as an educator, artist and spiritual seeker.

Money is not the reason we do our work, yet money in many ways makes it possible. I did not come “from money”, “married money” or chose a money-making profession. So money was something I’ve had to treat as a life lesson. Slowly learning that money is just as much part of my yogic spiritual – physical world as my muscles, joints and organs.
