Involution & Transfiguration
For the yogī, the body serves the primary function of connecting to the intangible and unfathomable field of consciousness known as the Self. Through the vehicles of consciousness, we follow their thread into the invisible realms of Self, and once refined and practiced in this art, we realize the embodiment of Yoga.
