Alchemy is turning base metal (something of low value) into gold (something of high value). Yoga is alchemy. It contains within it the ability to transform human beings from our base qualities of fear and ignorance (metal), into a higher vibration of love and more sustained joy (gold).

Yoga is ancient mind-body medicine that is used today to restore and regenerate all levels of our being at once: the physical body, the energetic or pranic body, the mental body, the values body, and the bliss body. Challenges in life are the metal we work with on the mat. Everything gets put into the hopper. By applying the alchemy of yoga, we have the ability to turn challenges into gold. 

While yogic alchemy is happening on the inside, it simultaneously changes our outlook on life. With conscious residing in the heart, we realize that we're all the same, regardless of the external differences like skin color, beliefs, gender, and ideologies. We all want love and acceptance, to feel appreciated, and to make a contribution. Those that spew hate and fear choose to stay in their base metal existence, and want everyone else to stay there with them. Don't be one of those people. Do the work necessary to bring about healing to yourself and our world.

Regardless of what life throws your way, through the alchemy of yoga, you have the ability to go for the gold in every area of your life. May your existence radiate as brightly as the Sun! 

Namaste,
