Uncovering 'More': An Adventure Outside the Yoga Mat

In yoga, we frequently hear the idea of "finding our edge," which challenges us to go beyond our comfort zones. But this trip goes much beyond the mat, prompting us to consider a more profound question: What is our "More"?  

With the Mat: Finding "More"  

"More" on the yoga mat begins with an invitation to push ourselves: to stretch farther, hold a pose longer, or take on a more difficult one. Nevertheless, the inner journey this quest inspires is more important than any outward accomplishments. It shows us that "More" may also mean giving ourselves permission to take breaks and breathe, and it instills in us qualities like perseverance, patience, and the value of listening to our bodies.  

Stepping Off the Mat to Live "More"  

"More" develops into a life philosophy outside of the gym. It's about living with intention, pursuing passions, and developing closer relationships. "More" pushes us to always pursue personal development, embrace our vulnerabilities, and present ourselves honestly. The theme of "More" is pursuing happiness and meaning in all aspects of our lives, including our relationships, goals, and careers.  

How "More" Is Shown  

"More" is a relative and changeable concept. It can be found in the quiet of meditation, the thrill of doing something new, or the pursuit of learning. Whatever its variations, "More" is really about the shared pursuit of growth, authenticity, and a deeper relationship with life.

Taking Hold of Your "More"  

Discovering your "More" begins with awareness, curiosity, and the guts to venture beyond your comfort zone. Whether on your mat or in everyday life, it's about being present in each moment and realizing that every experience has the capacity to lead to learning and personal development.
