28 Drawing that you are deep in your yoga era

Yoga is a way of life. For most students the exercise starts on the mat, but as soon as you find your power, you start to realize that yoga touches everything you do. From exploring the accompanying philosophy to concentrating on breath and mindfulness, the effects of entering your yoga age is a perspective moving experience.

But once there you can be immersed in yoga to the point where it is impossible to separate your practice from everything else. And that is a bit the point.

We have asked our editors and followers to share some unmistakable signs that you are deep in your yoga age. If you read this in an asana (pose), you may already have your first indication.
