What it means is as simplistic or complicated as you choose to make it. I try and keep it simple which is why I presented it the way I did at the beginning of this article. But, it wouldn’t be much of a blog with out a bit more explanation, so here goes…  [TO CONTINUE TO FULL YOGA ARTICLE CLICK HERE]
