Everything that human beings can do is essentially an expression of who they really are.

Somebody sings a song, somebody dances,somebody writes a book,somebody paints a picture.

Whatever else we do,is an expression of who you are.You may be conscious of it,you may be unconscious of it but still everything that you say,everything that you do,everything that comes out of you is essentially an expression of who you are.

So yoga,in that way is...diametrically opposite to this because its not an expression of who you are,its about determining as to who you are.Its about determining as to what you want to be,changing the once existence fundamentals.

It can be studied from the young ages to perfect it, so heir are some basic yoga poses or Mudra's for kids ,its a playful yoga just like a game to the kids so that they can enjoy and get strong. At the same time.
