Mindful Yoga - an old Post out of order

Recently, I posted Mindful Yoga to the worksite bulletin board. It is a good introduction to coming to Yoga with a good attitude. The short article is not that deep but it talks about moving
yourself a little closer to greater openness, purer lines of energy, and deeper stillness. That's yoga.

Then at the last session, the instructor came in and started reading from The Deeper Dimension of Yoga by Georg Phd Feuerstein. I was able to find where she read from at the beginning of the first chapter, What is Yoga?, on Amazon.com. I read,
At the core of Yoga is the realization of the transcendental Reality itself...
and later
Yoga is not easy to define. In most general terms, the Sansrit word Yoga stand for "spiritual discipline... Thus Yoga is the equivilent of Christian mysticism
I have had a long time interest in reading about Christian mysticism so this feels like another strand of my life becoming more evident.
