The connection of mind, body, and spirit is yoga's core understanding. When your body is tense, mood suffers; when your mind is anxious, physical symptoms appear. Yoga achieves true health and balance through integrated practice of all three.
Yoga's eight limbs cover all aspects of mind-body-spirit — ethical guidelines care for the spiritual level, poses and breathing care for the physical, sense withdrawal and concentration care for the mental, all unifying in meditation. This complete practice system goes far deeper than mere physical exercise.
You don't need to perfectly balance all three; gradually explore their relationships through practice. Some days focus on physical practice, others on meditation, others on yoga philosophy reading. Follow present needs and let mind-body-spirit integration happen naturally.
