And, returning without struggle, effort, or self-judgment and with a gentle smile. https://simple-yoga.org  This content is inspired by the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali according to the  book Unravel the Thread by Ruben Vasquez available at:  Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737648202/  Alibris https://www.alibris.com/Unravel-the-Thread-Applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life-Rub-n-V%C3%9Fsquez/book/50532904  Barnes and Noble https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/unravel-the-thread-rub-n-v-squez/1139928755  Indiebound https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781737648208  Thriftbooks https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/unravel-the-thread-applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life_rubn-vsquez/29003752/    #yoga #simpleyoga #yogasimple #unravelthethread #yogasutra #patanjali #patanjaliyogasutra #presence yoga, yoga sutra,yoga philosophy, patanjali, awareness, consciousness, meditation, presence, memory, applied philosophy, yoga practice, pranayama, pratyahara, concentration, presence
